BREAKING: Jose Mourinho talks on Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic return
Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday sitting 10th in the table facing a trip to take on an Everton side that have won three games on the bounce.
Ahead of the game, Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho has faced the press.
No return for Zlatan
When asked if he would re-sign Ibrahimovic, Mourinho said: “No, no.”
On Lukaku
I always feel that I always feel that every game. One day will be the game and one day he will score and one day his confidence levels will be back to normal, which clearly they are not, but I always feel that. Well against Juventus, I couldn’t give him a break, I don’t think Carrick can play as a striker, so against Juventus we played with the players that we did. If we decided to give a rest to Lukaku and play Rashford, then who plays as a winger? We are not in the best moment to try to think about resting players or try to find solutions, the solutions are to use the players we have.
Lingard could feature this weekend
He’s almost there, he came from the World Cup with that problem. Can he help us in the next match? That’s the question we have to answer tomorrow or wait one more week.
More on absentees
At this moment he is struggling because he is injured, struggling with his condition and he is the kind of player that needs to be really sharp to play his best game.
More on Sanchez
In this moment he’s struggling because he’s injured and we come to the Chelsea match to try to help the team but his physical condition was not good and then he had to stop and was not available for Juventus and is not available for tomorrow again, so now is to be physically in the best conditions. He arrived January, in the first period of the season for him, I don’t think is ever an easy situation for a player but this season he had a good start a good pre-season, he started well against Leicester, and then he was injured. Then he came back and was injured again and he is the kind of player that needs to be really really sharp.
