MAN UNITED, Mourinho: \"Shaw and Mkhitaryan aren\'t injured, just not 100% fit\"

Published on: 25 September 2016

After Manchester United defeated PL reigning champions Leicester City 4-1, at Old Trafford, Red Devils head José Mourinho explained why he didn't involve Luke Shaw and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the game:

"Shaw and Mkhitaryan? I wouldn't say they are injured. I would say they are not 100 percent. When they are not 100 percent, I always think that in these difficult moments -- when you really feel you have to win the match -- I prefer always to go with players who are 100 percent ready, from their physical and mental point of view.

The Injured ones were [Anthony] Martial and Phil Jones. Phil will be still for a few more weeks. All the others are still in that grey zone, between being fit or being injured. The decision was to go for people who were ready".
