Southgate defends players against Mourinho's criticism

England interim boss Gareth Southgate has defended Manchester United's Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw after criticism from their club manager, Jose Mourinho.

The United boss questioned the pair for missing Sunday's 3‑1 Premier League win at Swansea, saying: "For the team, you have to do anything."

Smalling has a foot injury, while Shaw played in United's Europa League defeat by Fenerbahce on Thursday.

Southgate said there was "obviously something wrong" with both players.
