Jose Mourinho has spoken out on Chelsea, Luke Shaw contract and FA Charge

Premier League football is finally back after the international break and next up for Manchester United is a trip to Jose Mourinho's former side Chelsea. Ahead of the game, Jose Mourinho has faced the press. The mood in the camp after Newcastle You say about smelling change, and progress, I wonder if you have smelt a change and a difference in the players after the win against Newcastle? I felt that after the match then you say it looks an eternity they go and they come and they come back step by step and even today we don’t have every player back. So is a bit strange when you come from the international week but I think the feelings of the last match remain so the players are fine, are happy and focused on the match. On Luke Shaw's new deal: A new deal for Shaw, has a player ever changed your mind as he has? No, the players are different, men are different, players are diff and they react in different ways to the development process and Luke reacted in the best possible way in these difficult moments, the moments where he was not selected, not playing regularly, he was saying the same all the time, ‘I want to play for you and United I am going to make it and be the player you want me to be.’ And he did it, he faced the process in a brave way he started the season before the season start in the best possible way where he went for holidays with a club fitness coach and he arrived in day one in much better conditions than a player that has a holiday just for fun and rest. Then by the tactical point of view I think he absorbed all the info, all the work we accumulate in the past years, mentally he got stronger and of course the happiness of this season to start playing and play regular and to feel the place was his place and the national team, even though he was not happy with his injury against Spain, also the feeling also helped. An accumulation of factors, an important contract for the club to keep him and important for him because is what he wants and when he gets a new contract with Manchester United I think was good news for us. On Chelsea - How impressed have you been with Sarri and for you going back to Stamford Bridge is it now just another game because so much time has passed? For me is another game, would I celebrate like crazy my team goal at Stamford Bridge or my team victory at Stamford Bridge? I don’t think so, I think I would try to control myself and to respect the stadium and the supporters that were my supporters and stadium for many years, to do that should be something I completely lost my emotional control, which is not easy, so I would think which stadium I am, which public is in the stands but apart from that is another match for me, I want to do well for my team, players, support, I am 100% Manchester United tomorrow, no more space than respect for the stadium and the fans. On the FA charge- Have you responded to the FA charge yet? Are you concerned you are being victimised? Yes, I did but I don’t comment. If I answer your question I probably have another process because I cannot imply bias so my answer is no answer.
