The Man United boss told MUTV. “They feel like it is a defeat and they are very disappointed.
“But I told them, the worse feeling is when you are upset with yourself because you didn’t perform or you made big mistakes, but they cannot have that feeling.

On his Instagram page Jose Mourinho had this to say:
“after a great performance but a bad result i had a phone call from king diego..gracias amigo.with you,with my family,with other friends,with my players and with utd amazing supporters…monday i will be ready again”
