Jose Mourinho insisted there is still “hope” in the title race despite Manchester United falling eight points behind Manchester City following a 1-0 defeat at former club Chelsea, stressing that things can yet change when his side gets back to “maximum strength”.

The Portuguese was again without Paul Pogba in a match where United struggled for attacking cohesion, but Mourinho was not concerned by the nature of the defeat, saying it was down to fine details.
