Jose Mourinho has said Nemanja Matic is a doubt for Manchester United’s trip to Arsenal this weekend while Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Marouane Fellaini have all been ruled out.
He said “Matic is a doubt. I hope he can but I cannot guarantee he is selected to go. Let’s see the feeling before the match, let’s see the warm up.
“I hope he can, I want to, he wants to, but I cannot guarantee, and Fellaini is not travelling with the team.”
He said: “When we have the ball we are going to attack with 11 players because the goalkeeper knows what to do when we have the ball and when Arsenal have the ball we will defend with 11.
“I play a game at a time, I play a game at a time, and is the way to do it, is the way to do it.
“Yesterday, I was watching an interesting movie, ‘Borg vs. McEnroe,’ and Borg’s coach was telling him that all the time, one point at a time, think about just one point and I tell my players just think about the game.
“Is just the game, it is Arsenal, we don’t think about how many points behind, is just Arsenal, is difficult enough for us to be focused on other things. Focus on this.”
