Mourinho defends man united form praises fantastic lukaku backs van dijk fee

It seems like Jose Mourinho is speaking out in defense of Manchester United's recent form, as well as praising Romelu Lukaku's performance and the fee paid for Virgil van Dijk.

Here's a possible transcript of what Mourinho might have said:

"I think people are being a bit unfair with Manchester United's form lately. We've had some tough games, but we're still in a good position in the league and we're still in the Champions League. I think we've shown some great resilience and determination to get results.

"Romelu Lukaku has been fantastic for us this season. He's been a real handful for opposing defenders and has scored some crucial goals. He's a top-class striker and I'm delighted with his form.

"As for the fee we paid for Virgil van Dijk, I think it was worth it. He's been a game-changer for Liverpool and has helped them become a top-four team. He's a top-class defender and I think we would have loved to have him at Manchester United. But we didn't get him, and we've had to make do with the players we have.

"I think people need to remember that we're still a top-six team and we're still competing with the best teams in the league. We're not going to win every game, but we're going to keep fighting and trying to get the best results we can."

Of course, this is just a possible transcript and Mourinho may have said something entirely different. But it gives you an idea of what he might have said in defense of Manchester United's form and praising Romelu Lukaku's performance.
