The outspoken manager referred to the club’s upcoming fixtures as a ‘poisoned gift’ during a post-match interview. The Red Devils face Liverpool on Monday night after their match against Stoke this weekend. They will then play Turkish giants Fenerbahce in their next Europa League fixture, before facing Chelsea. He said:
''We have to play seriously in the Europa League. We could play Liverpool on the Saturday or the Sunday. We play Liverpool on the Monday.
''We don’t have the best conditions because we play against two top Premier League teams who don’t have European competition.
''I think it’s impossible, the poisoned gift is already there. We just have to play Monday, Thursday and then the Sunday.’’

Sunday, Oct, 2 – Stoke City (H)
