Man Utd news: Thierry Henry reveals why Jose Mourinho is wrong

MANCHESTER UNITED are not in trouble despite Jose Mourinho’s complaints about his side’s injury problems.
That is according to Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry.

Romelu Lukaku became the latest name to join Manchester United’s injury list after he suffered a head injury in the 0-0 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

However United coped admirably without their leading goalscorer as Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard were on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win over Everton last night.

After the match, Mourinho claimed his side were “in trouble” with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia and Marouane Fellaini on the sidelines.
But Henry believes United’s display against Everton proves they have enough quality.

“What you have in that team is top quality – Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Rashford came off the bench. They created chances,” Henry told Sky Sports.

“I understand when Mourinho talks about the players that were missing, but, trouble? I don’t think the word would be trouble with the players that I see here.

“Everton were in trouble, not United. I’m sure he [Mourinho] would love to have all the players around him to choose from. But you still have quality there.”




Henry’s punditry colleague Graeme Souness added Mourinho will not get much sympathy over his comments he needs more money in the transfer market.
“Every manager wants more and better players, but Jose Mourinho is not going to get too many sympathy votes from English football,” Souness said.
“You can go out and spend £200m on two players, I don’t think too many people will be feeling sorry for him tonight, that two big players were missing.

“It’s Man United after all. United are one of the biggest, richest clubs in the world, if not the richest club in the world.

“They carry a big squad, they’re in all the competitions, but that is the price on the ticket. Injuries come along to everyone during the season. It should affect him less than anyone else.

“His complaints, or playing for sympathy, will fall on deaf ears, because it’s Man United and they have a great, big squad filled with top players. I don’t see where he’s coming from with that argument.”
