(Reuters) - Manchester United's chances of winning the Premier League could be hindered by their Europa League campaign, manager Jose Mourinho has said. "It's more difficult, yes (to win the Premier League when you are playing in the Europa League)," Mourinho told reporters. United missed out on a Champions League spot after finishing fifth in the league last season, and the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager said that the three-time European champions would respect the Europa League. It is not one I want or the players want but it is a competition where we are and that is the reality," Mourinho added. "I think you can see by our selection that we come to respect our opponent and we come to win the game.
