Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes it is “too late” for Manchester United to make the top four due to injuries.

Jose Mourinho’s side  find themselves in fifth position in the Premier League with four games left in the league season.

United sit just  one point behind Manchester City and a further three off Liverpool in third place in the race for the top four.

“We have two matches in one week against Celta. It is important to have everyone back,” said Mourinho.

“In the relation to the Premier League I think it is too late because in April we played nine matches, seven of them in the Premier League and we had too many problems. “We had too many players absent. Because of that we had players who had to play 800 minutes of football and we paid the price.

“We played against fresh teams. In this moment the perspective is different because the Europa League becomes even more important for us and it is good to have three players back who give us more options.”
