Day makes big difference to maddened Mourinho

SOUTHAMPTON, England - Jose Mourinho's said the Premier League's supposed unwillingness to help Manchester United in its preparations for the Europa League final will force him to pick youth players against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

United finishes its league campaign against Palace at Old Trafford before going for European glory against Ajax in Stockholm next Wednesday, a game it must win to qualify for next season's Champions League.

With nothing riding on Sunday's game for either United or Palace, which is safe from relegation, Mourinho believes it should have been moved forward a day.
