Jose Mourinho 'really happy' about Manchester United opportunity to bounce back against Valencia
Sunday 30 September 2018 19:12, UK
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says Tuesday's game against Valencia gives his team a chance to quickly bounce back from Saturday's defeat.
United were beaten 3-1 by West Ham at the London Stadium and the pressure is on Mourinho, having watched his team equal their worst ever start to a Premier League season, just days after they exited the Carabao Cup.
Next up for United is a Champions League game at home to Valencia on Tuesday - and Mourinho told the club website that he welcomes the prospect.
"For myself, speaking of my own feelings, I am really happy that we have a game on Tuesday," Mourinho said in the wake of the West Ham loss.
"I am really happy that I now start immediately thinking about training tomorrow and about the match on Tuesday.
