Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that his side have been playing well despite not winning any of their last three matches.
Mourinho’s team lost 2-1 to second-tier Bristol City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals before playing two 2-2 Premier League draws with Leicester City and Burnley.
“I think we played very well in both matches [against Leicester and Burnley],” Mourinho said during his pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash at home to Southampton. “We didn’t score enough goals in relation to [the chances] we created, so we were punished by not having great efficiency in both boxes.”
Romelu Lukaku has hit a dry patch but Mourinho has backed his £75m signing.
“Now, it is 20 [consecutive] matches in the Premier League [for him]. I think for a striker, for any player, it’s absolutely incredible,” Mourinho added.
“The guy is fantastic for me and the team, and he gives absolutely everything, I have no criticisms.
