Man Utd boss Mourinho denies favourites status after booking EFL Cup final spot

The Red Devils manager does not believe that his should be well fancied to overcome Premier League rivals Southampton at Wembley Stadium

Jose Mourinho does not believe Manchester United should be considered the favourites for their EFL Cup final against Southampton at Wembley.

United booked a final berth on Thursday despite a 2-1 loss at Hull City ending the team's 17-game unbeaten run, with Tom Huddlestone and Oumar Niasse on target either side of Paul Pogba's equaliser.

Mourinho has won the competition three times but the Portuguese believes the final against Southampton on February 26 will be tricky for United.
