曼聯在主場4-0戰勝了水晶宮後，穆里尼奧堅稱球隊並不想念因傷缺席的博格巴，由於傷病，博格巴已經多場比賽未能代表球隊出場，此前穆帥也透露法國人將長期缺陣。
穆里尼奧說：「我們不會去想念那些受傷的球員，這就是我們看待傷病的方式。他們受傷了，我們就不會去考慮他們的事情。
「這對於其他球員來說是一個機會，別人有機會站出來得到這個機會，所以我覺得這是好事。如果我們抱怨傷病的話，看起來我們似乎不太信任其他的球員的意思，但我們必須去信任其他人。」
穆帥認為現如今將曼聯視為冠軍爭奪者還為時尚早，他說：「我從沒想過奪冠的事情，我只是一場比賽一場比賽來做計劃，我甚至還沒想到之後對陣利物浦的那場比賽呢，我可以向你們保證這一點。我一秒鐘都沒想過利物浦的那場比賽。」
Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United are not missing Paul Pogba after securing a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, who remain without a point this season.
The Red Devils have now struck 21 times in seven games to capitalise on their soft start to the season and sit join-top with Manchester City.
Pogba has been absent for the league wins over Palace, Southampton and Everton, as well as cup victories over Burton Albion and CSKA Moscow, leading Mourinho to believe his side are not as reliant on the France international as some believe, report the Manchester Evening News.
Marouane Fellaini has scored three times in Pogba's absence and Mourinho believes the Belgian's impact underlines the trust he has in United's squad members.
"We never miss the players that are injured," Mourinho said after it was suggested United are not missing Pogba. "That's our way of seeing [it]. They are injured, we don't think about them. It's an opportunity for others, is a moment for others to step up and to get the chance, so I think that's good.
"When we moan all the time about injuries it looks like we don't trust the other people and we have to."
United are unbeaten in the Premier League, having won six and drawn one, and have scored almost half as many goals as they managed in their league campaign last term.
Mourinho still stressed it is 'too early' to regard them as title challengers and had not even contemplated their first game after the October internationals against Liverpool at Anfield.
"I didn't even think about it," Mourinho insisted. "I just ended this game, I'm not even thinking about Liverpool, I can promise you that.
"I didn't have a second to think about the Liverpool game."
