Mourinho was already planning on handing Valencia a well-deserved break as the games continue to come thick and fast.  He admitted after a narrow victory over the Baggies that fatigue is starting to set in and that he will need to rotate his squad.Discussing Valencia’s knock, the Portuguese said: "That's football in England, especially in December. Players are not machines and sometimes it happens. "He knew he was not going to play the next game [a Carabao Cup quarter-final at Bristol City on Wednesday] and he was asked for a last effort before the break but he couldn't resist. "We have other players, [Daley] Blind and [Matteo] Darmian were not on the bench, and we have other people to cope with the difficulty."United have four more fixtures to take them through to the end of 2017, with a midweek cup clash with Bristol City followed by Premier League outings against Leicester, Burnley and Southampton. They will then open 2018 with a trip to Everton on New Year’s Day, before kicking off their FA Cup campaign with a visit to Championship side Derby at the third round stage.</blockquote>
