The Red Devils have failed to convert draws into victories in recent weeks at Old Trafford after sharing the points with Liverpool, Burnley and Arsenal. 

Manchester United’s displays haven’t been terrible - they registered 37 shots against the Clarets - but their struggle to see out the game has seen them fall behind in the table.

And the Portuguese boss is still clearly frustrated his team dropped valuable points at home.

“The job is as difficult as I was expecting,“ Mourinho said.

“I said at the same time as saying I wanted to win the Premier League this year I knew the risk. 

“But again, just focusing on the last three matches at home my question is how was it possible that we didn’t win.

“With these six points we would be now in the top four, very close to the first and the second, so the difficult thing to accept is we played so well and didn’t win these three matches.”

Mourinho will be hoping his team pick up three points tonight when they welcome Feyenoord in the Europa League (8.05pm).

United are third in Group A, a point behind the Dutch outfit and leaders Fenerbahce.
