woah manc 6 nil away

This is not good news for Manchester United. Reports from Belgium's 4-3 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina suggest Marouane Fellaini suffered a ligament injury.

There are no more details at present but the midfielder was replaced after 29 minutes. Further details when we get them.

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini is set to miss their Premier League game at Liverpool after picking up a knee injury playing for Belgium.

The 29-year-old went off after 29 minutes of a World Cup qualifying win over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday.

In a post on social media, Belgium said Fellaini has had a scan and will be "out for a couple of weeks".

They face Cyprus in their final World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, while United travel to Anfield on 14 October.

The Old Trafford club then visit Benfica in the Champions League four days later before a trip to Huddersfield in the league on 21 October.

Fellaini has scored four goals for United this season, including two in a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace in their last game before the international break.

He looks set to join fellow United midfielder Paul Pogba, who is out with a hamstring injury, on the sidelines for his club.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he does not believe he will finish his career at the Premier League club.

The 54-year-old Portuguese, who is in his second season with the Red Devils, has never spent more than four years in one spell at any of his seven clubs.

Speaking on French television, Mourinho also said he thought Paris St-Germain were a "fantastic" club.

"I'm still a coach with worries, with ambitions, and with the desire to do new things," said Mourinho.

The former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Porto boss told TF1's Telefoot: "I don't believe, no, I'm sure that I won't end my career here."

Asked if that meant at Manchester United, Mourinho said: "Yes."

Mourinho, who won the EFL Cup and Europa League in his first season at Old Trafford, said his son had recently been to watch PSG.

"Why Paris? Because there's something special. Magic, quality, youth, it's fantastic," he added.

Any comments from jose?

MOURINHO ASSESSES DEFEAT TO TERRIERS

Jose Mourinho has given his reaction to Manchester United's Premier League defeat at Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

Goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre gave the Terriers a 2-1 victory as the Reds suffered a first domestic defeat of the campaign at the John Smith's Stadium.

Here is a full transcript of what the boss had to say in his interview with MUTV and post-match press conference…

EUROPEAN EXPLOITS DIDN’T HELP
“The conditions are the same for everyone, for them and for us. The only thing that is different is that we played a game two days ago, they didn’t. But we already knew for a long, long time that is a difference in quality – one plays in the Champions League, the other doesn’t. So, the difference in quality is compensated by the fact that one team plays more than the other. That’s football.”

MISTAKES NOT TO BLAME
“It’s not fair to say that the mistakes were responsible for the defeat, because the mistakes were in the context of the overall performance. If we are playing amazingly well and then we lose because of an individual mistake, then we can say ‘okay we lost because of an individual mistake’. But no, since the first minute, the game was poor for us. We paid the price and I think deservedly.”

EVERYONE DISAPPOINTED
"I don’t like to anticipate the reactions because I don’t know what to say in this moment. We came here to play in the Premier League, to play for three points, so I feel really disappointed. If I was a Manchester United supporter, not the manager, but a traditional supporter, I’d be really disappointed because I think you can play and lose matches because your opponent has more quality. You cannot lose because the opponent has a better attitude than you so I’m disappointed.”

DEFEAT A SURPRISE
“It was a surprise, of course, but it happened so, for me, it’s quite easy and simple to say the team that deserved to win won. I know you like that [singling out Lindelof] – if it is the correct word, individualisation, of the mistake and the defeat. I think it’s very unfair as the mistake was him in the second goal and [Juan] Mata for the first goal but they were in the context of the game. If we had an amazing game, you point the finger and say we lost undeservedly due to an individual mistake but it was not the case. I was waiting for that mistake. It was Mata and Victor but it could have been another one as the attitude was really poor. So they beat us on attitude.”

POOR ATTITUDE COST US
“When I lose matches, I like to lose matches because the opponents were better than us and had more quality than us. When you lose a match because of attitude, that’s really bad. I heard Ander Herrera in his flash interview saying the attitude and desire was poor. Oh my God, when a player says that and feels that, I think they should all go to the press conference and explain why. Of course, it concerns me. It happened today so why can’t it happen tomorrow. I think so honestly [it’s the first time I’ve seen that], I don’t even remember a friendly match when our attitude was so poor. They tried in the second half in difficult circumstances - the wind was tremendous. In the second half, we probably could have got a second goal but it would have been an undeserved goal and undeserved draw.”

Phenomenal start for Spurs, lifting my heart a little.
