Premier League! Man United Boss Mourinho Blast His Players After Loss Against Brighton

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was devastating over some of his marginal players, as they lost 1-0 to Brighton.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial started in a front three after injuries to top scorer Romelu Lukaku and January signed Alexis Sanchez.

"For ten months I am asked" why Lukaku always? Why always Lukaku? Why always this player? "" Mourinho said.

"" The guy has no chance to start, the other is on the bench. "You now know why."

The Belgian international Lukaku has played the entire 90 minutes this season in 30 Premier League-games and scored 16 times. He suffered an ankle injury last weekend against Arsenal and Sanchez knocked - but Mourinho hopes they can both return for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday, May 19.

England forward Rashford, 20, and France's Martial, 22, both played in most of United's games this season, but often from the bench.

Meanwhile, Mourinho was not happy with the performance of his team when they want to seal the second place in the Premier League.

He has previously discussed the importance of finishing above everyone in Manchester City, and they remain five points free of the third seeded Liverpool, although Tottenham - a point further back with a game in hand - can also catch them.

"Football was fair for the Brighton boys," he said when Albion secured their Premier League safety. "They had a big target, they showed that it was important to them and have given everything for it.

"I could not convince my players that the second place was very important to us, I know we can do it, we only have two matches to get the four points we need and they have defeated us in this position."
