Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United performing better than Liverpool and Manchester City in Champions League

Jose Mourinho has reminded Manchester United fans that his side is performing better than Manchester City and Liverpool in the Champions League. United have suggested that Mourinho will be sacked regardless United’s result against Newcastle on Saturday. The Portuguese has lost both support of his players and United board. But Mourinho is keen to point out that United have yet to lose in the Champions League this season, while Liverpool, City and Spurs have all been beaten in one of their two group games so far. 'After today’s game we have two weeks, then we go straight into games against Chelsea, in the Premier League, and Juventus, in the Champions League, with two recovery days in between,’ Mourinho said in his matchday programme notes ahead of the game against Newcastle at Old Trafford. ‘For the moment, we have the most points of any English team in the Champions League, and it is a big responsibility for us to maintain that in our next group match against the super team, Juventus. ‘With such huge games coming up later in the month, it would obviously be good for our confidence to end this current run of fixtures with an important victory this afternoon at home. ‘Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy the game.’
