3 minutes and 32 second: Every word from Jose Mourinho's pre-macth press conference. Injury update and reasons for unacceptable results

Manchester United are looking for a first win in three Premier League matches, while Newcastle United have yet to claim victory this season. Ahead of the game, Jose Mourinho faced the media and 3 minutes 32 seconds later he ended the press conference. First of all, team news.
Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard remain absent through injury.
Why are the team struggling? For many different reasons. Can you say the reasons? No Mourinho admits results unacceptable Yes, I accept [that]. I know we are in the beginning of October and we look to tables all around Europe and in many of the leagues the tables in September and October don’t reflect what is going to happen in a few months or even at the end of the season.  But we are in a position where we can do much better and to do that we need points, points that we lost especially in the last two Premier League matches, with one point out of six. The home form must improve No home wins, yeah, that’s true. But only one defeat at home all season, only one defeat in the last seven matches, but not victories at home in the past three matches, three draws, not the feeling of defeat, but not the happiness of the victory, so it’s important for us to try and win this match on Saturday. Mourinho expects tough task vs Toon They have a very, very very good coach, a team that is always very well organised, against especially the teams of the first part of the table, where their manager is very bright on his analysis of the opposite qualities and to try to stop them. The results they’ve had against the top teams didn’t get them points yet this season, but gave them very, very close results and very difficult matches for the opposition. So we expect a difficult match.
