- Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is not sure if his team can finish in the top four this season

- Jose Mourinho has now admitted that he faces a tough task to climb the table this season in the EPL
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that his wards will need a miracle to finish in the top four teams at the end of the ongoing Premier League season.
United have not been impressive this season in the Premier League as they currently occupy seventh position on the standings and they are eight points behind fourth placed Arsenal.
Mourinho and his men have earned just two points from their last three League matches having been held by both Crystal Palace and Southampton and been beaten by Manchester City.
The Red Devils are 16 point behind current Premier League leaders Manchester City, and Jose Mourinho said that his team may not qualify for next season's Champions League.
"Last year I said it was fantastic to finish second considering the quality we had compared to other teams who were fighting for a top-four finish.
"This year, as we're facing even more problems, it proves what I said when the season started: that it would be very tough for us. Now we must try and win as many points as we can. It will take almost a miracle to finish in the top four." Mourinho told RedeTV according to Goal.
