Mourinho has endured a turbulent first term at Old Trafford since succeeding Louis van Gaal in the summer.

Manchester United have won just five of their first 13 Premier League games and trail Chelsea by 11 points at the top of the table.

"We knew if we hadn't played well, the first person who would be waiting for you in the tunnel would be Sir Alex Ferguson," the former England captain added.

"There was a fear factor, but it was a good fear."
