£300m is not enough, says mournful Jose Mourinho

Jesse Lingard’s second-half heroics may have plastered over some of the cracks in Manchester United’s season, but Jose Mourinho was left to count the cost of a damaging six days.

Defeat at Championship side Bristol City, the injury-time equaliser conceded at Leicester, and now an injury-time equaliser of their own to salvage a point against Burnley. In less than a week, Mourinho has seen his team end their defence of the Carabao Cup and fall a further four points behind champions-elect Manchester City in the Premier League table.

And, without Lingard, it could all have been so much worse as first-half goals from Ashley Barnes and Steven Defour left Burnley on course for their first victory at Old Trafford in over 55 years.
