Mourinho positive Man Utd will beat Fulham

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is confident his side will defeat Fulham at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Red Devils have not won in the Premier League in four matches as pressure continues to build on Mourinho.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Mourinho said: "I want to be positive and think we are going to win.

"But if we don't give credit to the people that deserve credit and the game is not going to be 11 against 0 it's going to be 11 against 11, good players in other side, I repeat the position, the points sometimes don't say much about the real potential of the team, one of the two most important managers in the history of the Premier League, so they have the potential to come here tomorrow and to give us a very different match.

"I know only two days is not easy Fulham in the same situation as us but probably the way they are coming to play or try to play will not demand as much from them as us but no excuses.

"I sat here a few weeks ago speaking about December month and no defeats that's a reality, good fights, good spirit, but just one victory against Young Boys and three draws and we need points, but Fulham is the same, they need points."
