Jose Mourinho suffered yet another loss as the Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> manager. this time crashing out of the Champions League after suffering a 3-0 loss at the hands of RB Leipzig in the second leg of the Round of 16.<\/p>\n

But unfortunately, the Portuguese will have no time to try and sort things out since next up, Spurs take on Manchester United<\/a> in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho currently has a long list of injury absentees with players like Harry Kane, Son and Bergwijn all out injured. So naturally, it will be an uphill task for the home side to pick up a win against Manchester United especially since the OT side are in red hot form right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the squad, we have at the moment it\u2019s going to be very, very difficult,\u201d<\/em> the manager said after the loss to Leipzig via talkSPORT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese problems are not going to disappear from today to tomorrow. <\/em>But we have matches to play, matches to fight in. You can see in our matches in the Premier League that we fight until the end.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Premier League, we don\u2019t have results where we had no chances to fight for the points.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we lost matches, we lost matches 2-1, 3-2, 1-0. We had draws so it\u2019s not like we don\u2019t fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

Spurs have now conceded five goals inside the opening 25 minutes of their three UCL games since Jose Mourinho became manager:<\/p>\n
