United boss Mourinho has called on the Premier League to change domestic fixture schedules for clubs involved in European competition.

Mourinho insists it is unfair his team play at Middlesbrough at noon on Sunday, having faced FC Rostov in the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday evening.

He said: "I don't understand how we don't have any help in relation to European football. I've said this for many years. I think they don't give an S about the English teams in Europe. They simply don't care. [In] every [other] country they try to help.

"Without them and their money, the Premier League wouldn't be the Premier League - the clubs wouldn't be so rich."
