Jose Mourinho demands Man United players respond like ‘men’

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has challenged his players to show they are “men” by recovering from the 4-0 humiliation at Chelsea with victory over rivals Manchester City in the EFL Cup.

Mourinho is waiting to discover whether he will face a charge from the FA following comments about referee Anthony Taylor prior to the goalless draw at Liverpool, adding to his concerns after a nightmare return to his old west London stomping ground.
