FELLAINI BACKS MOURINHO

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini insists that the whole United squad are behind manager Jose Mourinho.

United are currently enduring their worst start to a season in 29 years and the pressure is increasingly growing on the manager.

Fellaini was questioned by Sky Sports about the on-pitch huddle against Valencia in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

"I think we wanted to show that we are together," Fellaini said. "Everybody (was behind the idea). I think everybody is behind the manager.

"Today I think we showed improvement and we have to keep going. Everyone is going in the same direction to try to improve and to do better.

"I think it was a bad day against West Ham. We were all bad. We have to do our best and do our job.

"We showed it today, but we have to do better on Saturday. Yeah (it was a frustrating night), but it was much better than West Ham.

"We put energy, effort, we run forward, we try to score the goal. OK, we didn't but we have to keep going.

"We have to continue to work hard. We have the next game Saturday and we play every three days so it's another chance to do better.

"The spirit is there. You saw it today, but we have to win on Saturday."
