Jose Mourinho is under pressure at Manchester United

The Premier Leagues Big Six has been made up of Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpoolin recent years.And Mourinho believes that will remain the same come May, despite Evertons resurgence under Marco Silva.He said: I think Manchester United, seventh place – I can agree. In spite of the investment Everton made, (which) was phenomenal, and obviously there was a great improvement in that team from last season, I don’t think Everton is going to be in front of Manchester United by the end of the season.I think clearly everybody knows that there are six teams that should, all of them, stay in the first six positions.I think at the end of the season, once more, the top six will be done by the six teams that we all know that have that responsibility to finish in the top six.Mourinho also reiterated his belief that it would not be a miracle for the club to finish in the top four this season.United are eight points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who they face at Old Trafford on Wednesday, after drawing 2-2 at Southampton on Saturday.2

Manchester United fought back from two goals down to draw with Southampton

Mourinho was quoted as saying to Brazilian outlet RedeTV after the Southampton game, when referring to his ambitions for the rest of the season: “Try almost the miracle to end in fourth.”When asked about his comment during a press conference on Tuesday, Mourinho said: “I don’t know if I said (that) or if I didn’t. But if I used that word (miracle), it is not what I feel at all.“I think we are eight or nine points from fourth. I don’t think we need a miracle at all. I think we need a good run of results, I think we don’t need to waste points where we shouldn’t waste.”He added: “Before the Crystal Palace game (a goalless home draw on November 24) I said that my hopes, my targets were to be, in the end of December, in that position.“The target changed but changed in the sense of let’s try to close the distance as much as we can and try to be by the end of December very close to these positions.“I think far from a miracle, we just need to not be so unlucky with problems that we have. We need some players to perform better than we are, we need as a team to perform better than we are, but far from a miracle, not at all.”
