Martial will speak to the press after José. Which should mean he’s starting.

Mourinho on French football, "It isn't my job to analyse that, it isn't my job to speak about Monaco or PSG. I play against St.Etienne."

Mourinho: "St.Etienne is a good team, very well organised with a coach that shows his potential tactically and mentally."


Mourinho: "We got a very good result in the first match but believe me it could have been different. Instead of 3-0 it could have been 2-1."

Mourinho on lack of reliance on Rooney: "he's injured, I cannot do miracles with this. We have a great improvement in the medical dep."


Mourinho: "We have a clear improvement in the medical department from recent years, it is easy to see in stats and data."

Fecking media obsessed with Rooney. Move the feck on you cnuts. :mad:

No relevance to game tomorrow yet they keep peddling the Rooney bullshit. So annoying. They could ask a million better questions.

Whatever people might think of him, I just love Jose's attitude. The way he approaches all competitions with the same intensity. His comments about United. He's obviously here for the long haul. I hope he stays for a very long time. If this progress continues exponentially, we're gonna be alright.

Mourinho: "3-0 is a very important result for us because normally it means it is mission impossible for St.Etienne."

What a bunch of motherfeckers English journalists are. Asking only about Rooney and not a single question about tomorrow's match.

Mourinho on Shaw's absence: "Because I'm playing with Blind, Rojo & Darmian - all are playing the way l like a full-back to play”

Mourinho on Shaw: "He has to work better & better. I give nothing for free. They have to work hard. In this moment he is behind the others"

Mourinho on Shaw: "At the moment he is behind the others. Potentially he has many things that I like but potential is different to the pitch."

I find it hard to believe that Jose perfers Darmian over Shaw because he plays as Jose wants him to. I'm sure that Shaw will get his chance soon but still.
