Mourinho says United will struggle to close the gap to City and Liverpool

Pep Guardiola’s side have been threatened with a Champions League ban after allegedly circumventing Financial Fair Play rules, while Mourinho has made no attempt to hide his frustration with United’s lack of activity in the transfer market.Asked how long it will before United challenge for the title again, Mourinho said: I dont know. It depends on our evolution, but also others evolution. If the ones above us keep going in same direction and if their ambition and investment is continuous, thats one thing.Another thing is if they stop, or if the Financial Fair Play makes them stop and then we can close the gap a little bit better.The world is full of suggestions and I never know if they are true or not true, and thats not my job to analyse that.2

Guardiola has insisted City will not be banned from the Champions League

Liverpool boast 18 top-flight titles, however their last came in 1990, and Mourinho could not say whether United will face a similar period in the wilderness.I dont know what happened in Liverpool, said Mourinho. I just know the numbers, but I dont know why.Despite United’s poor form and reports linking Mourinho with a return to Real Madrid, the Portuguese manager’s agent Jorge Mendes issued a rare statement to insist he is ‘fully committed’ to the club.There have been more rumours of Jose leaving Manchester United,” said Mendes. “Its totally untrue. Jose is very happy at the club and the club is very happy with him.“He has a long-term contract with Manchester United and is fully committed to the club in building a solid winning project.”The Red Devils, without a win in their last four Premier League games, welcome struggling Fulham to Old Trafford on Saturday.
