Man Utd boss Mourinho: I\'d like this team next in Europe. What about hot balls?!

Published on: 23 February 2017

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admits he'd like to face Lyon in the next round of the Europa League.

Mourinho was asked for a preference after their win at St Etienne.

"I do not really have a preference. I'm not used to talking about raffles. Sometimes I get the impression that there are hot balls and cold balls. Who knows?" Mourinho shrugged.

"I can not choose. There will be 16 high-level teams, some of which are relegated from the Champions League. If I had to choose, I would rather not have to make a distant trip. With all the respect I have for everyone, if we can avoid teams like Krasnodar (Russia), that would be good.

"I prefer a draw like Lyon with a two hour shift. It would be good."
