Meanwhile Mourinho said wantaway duo Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay are unlikely to play for United again.

The former Saints midfielder had a medical at Everton on Friday while Depay is a target for the Toffees and Roma.

He said: "Their situation is exactly the same, both of them I will allow them to leave the club.

"I will allow them to leave if the right offer comes. Until this moment, no.

"Is this a good situation? No. Why not? Because I don't think about them as options in this moment.

"In normal conditions they would probably be selected for the match tomorrow and they aren't."

Mourinho confirmed he is still not happy with the offers on the table for Schneiderlin - even though he has set his heart on the Toffees.

United are looking for £24 million and five clubs have expressed an interest in taking him.

He added: "We are waiting for something that a couple of weeks ago looked like 100 per cent and at the moment looks like zero per cent.

"We don't have any offer that is close to the quality for the players we have."
