Jose Mourinho knew Man United 'wasn't an easy job' - assistant Rui Faria

Manchester United assistant manager Rui Faria says he and manager Jose Mourinho knew it was "not an easy job" taking over at the club -- and added that, if it was, their predecessors would have succeeded.

Faria was speaking at a news conference after the 1-1 draw against West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday, when Mourinho was sent to the stands for kicking a water bottle in frustration during the first half after midfielder Paul Pogba had been booked for diving.

United have now settled for four straight home draws in the league since the start of October in their first season under Mourinho's leadership.
