Manchester United need to grow up — Mourinho

By Daily Sports on November 10, 2018

Manchester United will lose more matches if they do not “grow up” and “start well”, says boss Jose Mourinho.

United rallied from 1-0 down to beat Juventus 2-1 on Wednesday – the fourth time they have come from behind to avoid defeat this season.

Mourinho’s seventh-placed side face Premier League leaders Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

“If we keep conceding goals before the opponent, there will arrive the day where we cannot come back,” he said. United were 2-0 down to Newcastle in their Premier League match on 6 October but won 3-2. Two weeks later they conceded the first goal against Chelsea but fought back to draw 2-2.

Against Bournemouth last weekend, Marcus Rashford’s 92nd-minute goal gave them a 2-1 win after conceding in the 11th minute.

In Turin on Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo put Juventus ahead but an 85th-minute free-kick from Juan Mata and an Alex Sandro own goal four minutes later saw United complete a famous Champions League comeback.

“We are not a team that gives up,” said Mourinho. “We are a team that always finds a way to fight back.

“We have to make sure that we grow up, not just in our approach, because I think it is clear that the team is growing up, but we also have to grow up in our compactness and to start matches well.” (Goal)
