Jose Mourinho says if he were in charge of Manchester City he would not accept the situation they currently find themselves in.

The Citizens are on the verge of suffering a second consecutive group stage exit from the Champions League, with anything but victory against Real Madrid on Wednesday and Borussia Dortmund in December set to condemn the side to failure.
And ahead of the midweek clash at the Etihad Stadium, Madrid manager Mourinho has taken a dig at City counterpart Roberto Mancini, hinting the Italian should be embarrassed by his side's showing on the big stage.
"I don't think it's normal when you're out of the competition at a very early stage," the former Chelsea coach said.
"I speak for myself. If Real Madrid loses a final or a semi-final or a quarter-final, that's football. When you are out at the group phase, it's more difficult to accept and to understand.
"Last season City were out in the group phase. I think this season they will be out again. I think they can win on Wednesday, of course, and I think they can win in Dortmund, but eight points is not enough.
"I think they're out for the second consecutive time, so that must be difficult for them."
