Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford on Sunday, looking to arrest a run of form that has been running for nearly five years.
They look good to add to that total on Sunday.
36' - GOAL! Anderlecht 0-1 Manchester United (Mkhitaryan) That was coming; not something one has said very often about Mourinho's United.
Manchester United have drawn five of their last nine games in all competitions, which has led to frustration amongst some supporters.
Bottom of the table and 10 points from safety, Sunderland will surely be doomed to the drop if they lose at home to West Ham.
Given that the Spaniard signed a new contract shortly after the breakdown of that 2015 transfer, United feel in a much stronger position, and do not think they have to bend to Real's will.
Despite having drawn five of their last six home league games, United have still scored 21 home goals this campaign - two more than they did at this stage a year ago under Louis van Gaal.
"I am expecting us to have a Europa League hangover".
Hamilton expecting titanic F1 title battle after winning in China
Hamilton believes a calm head was key to victory, especially at the end when the intensity levels were still high. Valtteri Bottas was left disappointed after a spin on lap 7, causing him to drop down from 3rd to 12th.
Leander Dendoncker's late equaliser gave Anderlecht hope as a superior Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
"You would imagine that Mourinho will be absolutely desperate for a win over his old club after two defeats".
Manchester United are Sky Bet's 6/4 favourits for the victory with Chelsea marginal outsiders at 9/5, while the draw is priced at 11/5.
Just after halftime, Valencia cleared a ball off his own goal line, but from there on, United looked like it would get an insurance goal imminently. If I was a Premier League manager I wouldn't buy him based on his decline in the last few seasons. "He should really go to Serie A where he could apply his technique to a slower brand of football". Mourinho's success with Chelsea is now under threat from being improved upon by Conte, while the Italian will be desperate to secure a win with Spurs threatening.
Mourinho confirmed Spanish midfielder Juan Mata would miss the rest of the season with his comeback from injury not scheduled until the end of May while defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones could be back in the middle of next month. I am about as confident as I can be. In United's last six Europa League games, they've only conceded once - against FC Rostov.
Anderlecht began the match assertively, creating half-chances with an aggressive press.
With just seven games remaining, Chelsea are looking to land the knockout blow as they slug it out with second placed Tottenham in the fight for Premier League supremacy. "For me he is one of the best players in the world".
However, believes his attackers were sloppy and believes they need to kill off games in the future. But then one chance or one mistake and you get punished.
