Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho met the media a few hours ago to preview Monday night’s trip to Crystal Palace. We have video of the entire media session for you here below via YouTube.
There were a whole host of topics covered in this news conference, including: the latest on the future and the health of Marouane Fellaini, the team injury/fitness update, a revelation about Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s future at the club and overall fitness and much much more.
Here’s the whole session, which runs about eight and a half minutes:
Mourinho is unsure whether or not Fellaini will stay the club beyond the expiration of his contract this season. He’s hopeful the Belgian will stick around, and he added that the midfielder could feature in a couple of weeks. Regarding Ibrahimovic, Mourinho made it clear that the larger than life Swede will likely move on from the club at the end of the year. He isn’t sure whether or not Ibrahimovic will retire or join another club.
Odds: Crystal Palace 6/1, Draw 10/3, United 4/7
