Man utd news: jose mourinho furious with two players after fa cup

Mourinho watched on as his side failed to break down a stubborn Chelsea side who won the cup through a first half Eden Hazard penalty. Lukaku was only fit enough for the bench and came on

for the final 17 minutes of action while Fellaini was not in the squad. And Mourinho is said to be raging at the two players believing they were saving themselves for the World Cup rather

than putting their bodies on the line for Manchester United. Lukaku had been out injured since the 2-1 win over Arsenal at the end of April while Fellaini has been in and out of fitness. But

the _Daily Mail_ claim Mourinho thinks both could have played a bigger part at Wembley and failed to show enough fight. “When a player tells you he is not ready to start, then the question

is how many minutes do you think you can play,” said Mourinho when asked about Lukaku afterwards. “How can I convince a player who tells me he is not ready to play?” Fellaini was expected to

be involved despite his recent lay-off but was not in the squad and now appears to have played his last game for the club. For Lukaku to incur Mourinho’s wrath is a remarkable turnaround

from being one of his generals on the pitch. Mourinho has stuck up for Lukaku all season and hit back at critics who say he plays too much after the defeat to Brighton earlier this month.

“For many months you are always asking why this player does not play, why this player is on the bench, why always Lukaku? I know my players better than you, and you do not know them so well

to be always asking these questions,” said Mourinho “You have the answer now when you ask ‘why always Lukaku?’ We are probably not as good as people think we are individually.” And United

struggled at Wembley without their focal point up top. January signing Alexis Sanchez was awful and while they rallied in the second half, they couldn’t find a way through. Mourinho is now

set to overhaul his squad with a £250m summer spend with six players on their way out.
