'Why should I answer to you?' - Mourinho refuses to give team news to MUTV

The manager opted not to provide an update when asked about his squad ahead of the visit of Arsenal

Jose Mourinho withheld team news from Manchester United's in-house TV channel after admitting he will have "difficulty" putting a team together to face Arsenal in the Premier League.

United go into Wednesday's clash with the Gunners looking for a first league win since November 3 as they face a side sitting eight points above them in the table.

Mourinho was without defenders Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly as they were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by lowly Southampton on Saturday, and he was asked by MUTV for an update on the injury crisis in defence.
