Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted he feels sorry for Manchester United, as the Red Devils stumble from one lacklustre result to the next.

But Mourinho, whose Chelsea sit top of the pile, is taking no pleasure at all in that however, despite Manchester United being rivals.
"They can [still finish in the top four]", he told a press conference.
