Mourinho yet to comprehend reason behind Man U late start

Jose Mourinho has failed to understand why Manchester United have developed a recent and known habit of starting games slowly after they hit back to snatch a dramatic 2-1 win against Bournemouth.

Mourinho acknowledged United could have been three or four goals behind by half-time at Dean Court on Saturday.

Instead, they went into the break on level terms after Anthony Martial’s 35th minute strike cancelled out an early opener from Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson.

United improved after the restart, eventually claiming a third win in four league games through Marcus Rashford’s stoppage-time goal.
