Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho insists he's happy with their progress.

Mourinho reckons that United are in a false position in the Premier League, he is refusing to contemplate what another setback at Everton would do to his top-four ­ambitions.

He said: “We have lost eight points at home that we did not deserve to lose and, if we had won those games, I think we would be third.

“So, yes, I think we are in a false position.

“But the reality of football is the result after 90 minutes and it doesn't matter if you were unlucky, doesn't matter if the referee gave a wrong decision against us, doesn't matter if the keeper made a mistake.

“What does matter is the result that gives us a number of points and where we are in the table."
