Jose Mourinho: Feeling the cold at United

Pundit Gary Neville believes Man United boss Jose Mourinho will already be growing tired of failing to turn good performances into wins.

Mourinho conceded after the 1-1 draw against Everton that there is a “problem” developing with the Red Devils and their inability to close games out from winning positions.

Neville echoed that sentiment, saying it is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day for the Portuguese manager and his United squad.

“It got to 85 minutes and you knew it was a big moment,” said former United defender during Sky Sports’ live coverage.

“It’s not a one off, it’s getting to the stage where you are saying is that what they are, because they have done it so many times.

“Jose Mourinho will be losing faith in the sense they are playing quite well – although they didn’t play brilliantly today – but not seeing it out. You have to see it out. That’s the disappointment.

“It’s a repeat of what has happened in the last few weeks. In the last 20 minutes it was set up perfectly for a counter attack and to make it 2-0, but they didn’t have the quality and precision to get out quickly with the first pass out of defence.”
