PHOTO: Jose Mourinho 'cries' over injury list, as he fears any hope of landing a trophy or top four, has been dashed

Manchester United manage, Jose Mourinho at a press conference today, fears their quest to land the Europa Cup or finishing in the top four this season, might have been over...

The club's injury list keep increasing, with the likes of Marcus Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic being the latest casualties...after the Anderlecht game in the Europa Cup game tie at home, in which they won to advance to the Semi finals...

Jose Mourinho who hints they are in ‘trouble’ says the club is left with no other choice than to bring in some academy players to fill in for the injured ones, especially at the defence...with Smalling and Jones still out...he said:

"We are in trouble,"
"We are in trouble. In this moment, Eric Bailly played six matches in a row, and we lost Marcos Rojo, we don't have Jones or Smalling, we are in trouble and now we lose Zlatan too. 

"But in attack, we have options and [Wayne] Rooney is coming, and let's see if Mata can also return before the end of the season, let's see what happens."

"I knew it did not look so good on television, but he seems to be in good spirits,"

"He walked around in the dressing room. I do not know the extent of his injury, of course, but I saw him in there and he was optimistic. Hopefully it is not too bad for him. We hope it is not too serious and he seems okay."

On Rooney return and the role he is expected to play in the absence of Zlatan, Mourinho said:

"He has a good mentality, he is a fighter,"

"He is a strong man, even if he is not in the best condition, even if he is not in the level of sharpness that you need to play high-level football, but he has the experience and character, so he has to."

"So Herrera is fresh to play,"

"Ashley Young is fresh to play and who else? Nobody else is fresh to play.

"Now we need absolutely everyone and I don't have to think about Axel Tuanzebe going to the U20 World Cup in Korea because maybe Axel has to come now. We need everybody."

...this could be an opportunity for Jose Mourinho to bring through another Rashford just like LVG...
