TIL Desk Sports/ Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho suggested he needs bigger investment from the club if he his to be able to produce the kind of team that will challenge Manchester City for titles.
After two second-half goals from Jesse Lingard gave United a point from a 2-2 draw at home to Burnley Mourinho was asked about the fading title challenge. City, who play at Newcastle United on Wednesday, are 12 points clear of United who have picked up eight points from the last 15 available.
Mourinho was reminded that United have invested around 300 million pounds ($401 million) on players since he took charge of the club and leapt upon the comment. “Ok, it is not enough. It is not enough. The price for the big clubs is different for the other clubs. The big historical clubs they are normally punished in the market for their history,” he said.
“The boys are doing what they can and they are doing fine. You say eight points from 15, I say last two matches we have 15 chances to score and we concede three goals and an amazing free kick. The boys do what they can. They are trying hard with the injuries we have. I am not happy with the result. I was not happy with the result against Leicester,” he said.
