"trouble" following serious knee injuries to Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo amid a growing injury
crisis at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic and Rojo are feared to have suffered
season-ending knee injuries in Thursday's Europa
League quarter-final victory over Anderlecht.
The pair join a long list of casualties at the Premier
League club, with Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and
Juan Mata already on the sidelines.
And manager Mourinho is genuinely worried as
United try to qualify for next season's Champions
League via a top-four finish in the Premier League
or by winning the Europa League, where they will
meet Celta Vigo in the semi-finals.
"We are in trouble," Mourinho said ahead of
Sunday's trip to Burnley. "We are in trouble.
"In this moment, Eric Bailly played six matches in a
row, and we lost Marcos Rojo, we don't have Jones
or Smalling, we are in trouble and now we lose
Zlatan too.
"But in attack, we have options and [Wayne]
Rooney is coming, and let's see if Mata can also
return before the end of the season, let's see what
happens."
United are fifth in the Premier League, four points
adrift of rivals Manchester City with seven matches
remaining.
