MANCHESTER, England — Jose Mourinho has said Manchester United can only start to think about a title challenge once they have clawed their way back into the top four.
United face Bournemouth on Saturday nine points behind leaders Manchester City and Liverpool and five points off the Champions League places.
“When you are outside the top four I don’t think you should speak about the title,” Mourinho told a news conference on Friday.
“When you are top four you can look up, see the distance, look to the fixtures, to the calendar, you can look to the situation at the moment, injuries, suspension, form and then you can feel it.
“But in this moment we are outside the top four so the point is now to get the points we need to try and be at the end of December in a better position than we are in now at this moment.”
