Wenger: Mourinho turning things around at Man Utd

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes Jose Mourinho is getting Manchester United back on the rails.

Mourinho has come in for criticism this term with United sat seventh after 11 games, nine points off league leaders Manchester City .

But Wenger told beIN Sports: "It looks to me that against Everton and Bournemouth he turned his team on the right side in terms of the performance.

"His team was down and responded twice in a very positive way. Overall you can trust his quality and experience to get Manchester back on track."

Asked if there had been a change in Mourinho's approach this term, the Frenchman added: "'I don't see him working everyday so I don't know if he has changed or not.

"We had very heated confrontations so for me I don't think his motivation has dropped."
