Mourinho Brands Pre-Season 'Strange' & Makes Bizarre Valencia Comments Following Draw With San Jose

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has bizarrely admitted his side "need to get used to" likely captain for the new season Antonio Valencia getting injured, after the Ecuadorian limped out of the club's 0-0 draw with San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday.

Valencia limped out of the game in the US after a mere seven minutes, causing concern ahead of the new campaign, but according to Manchester Evening News he is expected to return for the next pre-season clash with AC Milan - which takes place on Thursday.

The injury does come as something of a concern as United are already without new signing Diogo Dalot - who is expected to be the club's long-term answer at right back down the line - until September.
