JOSÉ: PREMIER LEAGUE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT EUROPE


Mourinho is angry that his team play at Middlesbrough
at noon on Sunday, soon after their Europa League win
against FC Rostov at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Speaking at a news conference, he said football
governing bodies in "every" other country tried to help
clubs in Europe in the way they scheduled domestic
fixtures.
And he said United's situation was far tougher than any
of their rivals near the top of the table with Arsenal,
Tottenham and Manchester City now out of European
football this season.

"We played 11 matches in the last six weeks and it's
going to get worse," Mourinho said.
"I don't understand how we don't have any help in
relation to European football. I've said this for many
years.
"I think they don't give an S about the English teams in
Europe. They simply don't care. Every [other] country,
they try to help, to give support to the teams in
European football."
He said that during his time as Inter Milan coach "it was
decided that when the clubs go to the knockout stages
of the Europa League and the Champions League, they
play [league games] on the previous Friday."
Mourinho added: "Without them [the clubs in European
competition] and their money, the Premier League
wouldn't be the Premier League -- the clubs would not
be so rich."
Speaking to BT Sport after the Rostov match, he claimed
United "have a lot of enemies."
"It's difficult to play Monday with 10 men, it's difficult to
play now, it's difficult to play 12 o'clock on Sunday," he
said.
"A lot of people might say we should have scored more
goals. But a lot of things are going against us. The boys
are amazing boys.
"We will probably lose the game on Sunday [at
Middlesbrough]. Fatigue has a price."
