Jose Mourinho has publicly given up on the possibility of Manchester United finishing in the top-4 of the Premier League following their 2-0 loss at Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger defeated Mourinho for the first time in 13 league matches.

United are four points behind Manchester City and Mourinho will instead focus on achieving Champions League qualifications on winning the Europa League.

“The top four? Impossible,” Mourinho said. “For two reasons. I don’t think the other clubs [in the race], who are playing one match a week, are going to lose. And, because we go with everything on Thursday [against Celta Vigo], we cannot go with everything at Tottenham.

“Go with everything at Tottenham and it’s difficult. Without everything, it’s more difficult. Then we play Southampton and Palace. I don’t think we have any chance of the top four. We have to chase the Champions League by trying to win the Europa League.”
