Man Utd boss Mourinho admits major changes for Blackburn tie

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admits he'll make major changes for their FA Cup tie with Blackburn Rovers.

But he insists they'll play to win on Sunday.

"I'm going to change a few players obviously but I'm going with a good team because I respect the competition a lot," the Reds boss explained.

"If I lose, I lose because the opponent was better or because we didn't play well, but I'm not going to throw it away. I go to Blackburn with respect.

"We've played already Reading and Wigan from the Championship so it's not new for us, the level of the Championship, the difficulty of the Championship. The lower league teams are getting better and better and better. And the fact we're away this time means I will go serious into this game.

"Manchester United demands that you go serious to every game."
