Jose's Promise To His Players

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reiterated he will give minutes to his 23-man squad next month.

The Reds have made the perfect start to the new season, lifting the Community Shield at Wembley before beating South-Coast sides Bournemouth and Southampton in the Premier League. United sit behind neighbours City on goal difference at the top of the table at this very early stage and are already awaiting the next challenge at Hull City, who also have maximum points after two games.

Following Saturday's fixture, an international break means a gap in action until the Manchester derby on 10 September kicks off a busy period and the manager already has plans to cope with the schedule.

"Every player is working hard and performing well," Mourinho told MUTV. "But every match is a match and I analyse the opponent and my team.

"I try to choose the best players and I know that nothing can change the frustration of the players that are not selected to play. But the reality is they all know they belong to a group of 23. To belong to that group, you must be a really good player, and they all are. At this moment, they feel the situation because it’s one match a week but September is around the corner and, in September, everybody is playing."
