Jose Mourinho seeks ‘surprise’ player

Jose Mourinho is expecting a “surprise behind the door” as the Manchester United manager utilises his squad during a testing run of October fixtures.

Life since succeeding Louis van Gaal has already had its peaks and troughs, with Community Shield glory and three successive wins followed by a run of three straight losses in all competitions.

United have responded to that dip and racked up a third consecutive win on Thursday against Zorya Luhansk in the Europa League.
