Jose Mourinho has hit out at the way the media analyse his team selections at Manchester United

Jose Mourinho has hit out at the way the media analyse his team selections at Manchester United but admitted that Alexis Sanchez, has endured a frustrating time at the club, writes TEAMtalk. “When we speak about Alexis, I think you should ask why every time a player is not playing in Manchester United, there is always a rumour. There is always a problem. It’s only here," said Mourinho. “In Chelsea when Willian doesn’t play there is no problem with Willian and (Maurizio) Sarri. In Man City, when Gabriel Jesus is not playing for weeks, there is never a problem. It is just a normal decision. “Here is the only club where every day the manager has problems with the players. You make me feel very, very special because I am the one who is different from everybody else. “But speaking about Alexis – a frustrating season. It’s a season where he is not playing a lot, where he had small injuries, where he now has a big injury. “I don’t like and don’t believe in the word curse but I have to admit it was probably a very unlucky six months, and we expect the new year brings better things for him.” Manchester United will take on Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium today. Red Devils have 21 points and are 7th while Southampton with 8 points is 19th in the league.
