Jose Mourinho will not be fired by Manchester United in the immediate future despite their 3-1 loss to Liverpool.

Mourinho has come under increasing pressure with United's run of poor results.

Mourinho made the stark admission after the game at Anfield that his team had been unable to cope with Liverpool’s physicality and intensity. “Robertson, Mané, Salah, Wijnaldum, Keïta, Fabinho: they are physical players and on top of that they are good players technically,” he said. “I have lot of good players technically but we don’t have lots of players with that intensity, that physicality, so when the game has high levels of intensity it is difficult for us.”
