Man United's fixture pile-up worrying Mourinho ahead of Europa League

Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United will end up “in trouble” if they continue to fight on all fronts.

Tonight’s Europa League clash against St Etienne kicks off a frantic 11-day period as the second leg in France comes after an FA Cup tie at Blackburn and is followed by the small matter of the EFL Cup final against Southampton.

There will be little let-up if United emerge victorious from that run of matches as more fixtures would leave them with a bloated, uneven schedule.
