The Chelsea boss, who sanctioned the sale of Juan Mata to Old Trafford in January, believes the Red Devils' season is far from over and expects the Scot to ignite a response.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists Manchester United can secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, despite their ongoing struggles.
A last-gasp draw at home to Fulham on Sunday - secured by Darren Bent's 94th-minute header - heaped further pressure on Old Trafford manager David Moyes, with United falling nine points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, who occupy the final Champions league qualification spot.
However, Mourinho has backed Moyes to use all his experience to turn the ailing Red Devils around, though he warned they will have to show excellent form to chase down the leading pack.
