Jose Mourinho is not happy that Manchester United and Manchester City still have Premier League games in hand. United and City were both involved in European competitions in August, meaning they were given an extra week off at the start of this season to rest. It meant United’s game against Burnley and City’s match with Aston Villa, which were both scheduled for the opening round of matches, were postponed.
Jose Mourinho said “It is very difficult to accept that four clubs have one match less than the others and I don’t even know when they’re going to play these matches which in every country would be impossible. They have to be played until at least the end of the first round of games. Before matchday 19, they should be playing these matches. I don’t even know when Burnley, City, Aston Villa, United – and now Newcastle and Aston Villa – are going to play. It can affect the competition. I was trying to find an answer this week and no one can give me that answer. We played four matches in one week and nobody was crying or supporting us.”
