Man Utd news: Mourinho Liverpool text, Solskjaer made Mata warn one player, Bailly PSG dig
MANCHESTER UNITED news is coming thick and fast ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool on Saturday. Express Sport brings you all the latest with Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Juan Mata and Eric Bailly all featuring.
Mourinho sent Liverpool text after Man Utd loss
Manchester United lost to Liverpool earlier this season in what ultimately proved to be Jose Mourinho’s final game in charge.
And a report from the Daily Mail has claimed the 56-year-old sent a text to close confidants after the game.
It is claimed Jose Mourinho said: “I’m done after this.”
But he then followed it up by saying: “But I’m not quitting.”
United ultimately forked out a huge £20million to sack Mourinho and his coaching staff, 48 hours after the Liverpool loss.
Solskjaer made Mata warn player
Manchester United interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly made Juan Mata warn Phil Jones during their Premier League win over Fulham earlier this month.
Paul Pogba scored twice and Anthony Martial bagged a wonder goal as the Red Devils cruised to victory at Craven Cottage.
And the Daily Mail say Solskjaer told Mata to warn Jones during the game.
The Spaniard was supposedly told to tell Jones that he had to up his game - or face being taken off.
And Jones seemed to heed his manager’s words with the England international playing the full 90 minutes.

Bailly PSG dig
Solskjaer has aimed a dig at Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, appearing to criticise the Ivory Coast international for allowing Kylian Mbappe to score in their 2-0 Champions League defeat to PSG.
"We’ve just got to make sure we stay focused for all these games," Solskjaer said.
"But these games are decided on the little margins.
“That one centimetre Mbappe was in front of Eric and he scored, instead of Eric clearing it.
“That's the deciding factor in these big games."
