United remained sixth in the Premier League after being held
to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth on Saturday, their seventh Old
Trafford stalemate of the season.
"The reality is we are losing too many points at home. These
matches at home against Hull, Burnley, Bournemouth, Stoke --
it's more of the same," the Portuguese boss told British media.
"If you look at the points we've lost at home -- all the matches
where we draw -- you're thinking about 10 or 12 and, with these
points we wouldn't just be speaking about the top four, we'd be
speaking about the top two or the top one."
Despite being unbeaten in the league since losing at Chelsea
late October, United have failed to turn dominant performances
into victories, leaving them three points off fourth-placed
Liverpool with one game in hand.
"Are we dead in relation to the top four? No. We are not dead --
there are matches to play, points to win, points to lose, points
to fight for -- but the reality is we are losing too many points
at home," the 54-year-old added.
United visit Russian side Rostov in a Europa League tie on
Thursday before switching their focus on an FA Cup quarter-final
away at Chelsea.
