The United are expected to travel to Leicester City come Saturday for a start. Jose tagged this as a hectic period of five games in 14 days.

Jose said some club were being given preferential treatment than others.

He said;
“We are not the only ones."

Jose said some other clubs like Leicester City falls in the same category.

Jose said from a simple objective study on the situation it was observed there is a big gap between some clubs and other clubs, which means some clubs were given period to rest than others.

He said the way the games were planned, some clubs are really privileged while another set of clubs are being punished by the decisions of the calendar, part of which he claimed Manchester United falls within.

“I know I would never be in the top group but in the middle group, we would like to be,” Mourinho said.

Manchester United are second in the Premier League table with 11 points behind arch rival Manchester City.
