Jose Mourinho slams United players for poor display against Wolves
Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, looked quite displeased with his team after they were held to a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton in their 6th Premier League match of the season. United have won three, lost two and drawn one match in this season of the Premier League. Mourinho was also not happy with the attitude his players displayed. More details follow.
Was more pleased with the defeat against Tottenham: Mourinho
Mourinho, in the post-match press conference, remarked that the attitude the team had displayed in their 0-3 defeat against Tottenham was much better than what they showed last night. "Not a good performance, not a good result but a fair result," said the Portuguese manager. After winning three away matches, the draw has surely come as a dismay for the Old Trafford faithful.
Mourinho's student got the better of him?
Santo, who was Porto's goalkeeper under Mourinho, is the manager of Wolves, and he seems to have used his ex-manager's tactics against him. Even Mourinho was impressed with the attitude of the Wolves' players, commenting that they have played with an attitude he admires, that is to play every match as a World Cup final. Mourinho said that this attitude was missing in United.
The frailties in Manchester United exposed once again
Manchester United have massive defensive flaws and the goal by Wolves serves as a testament to the frailties in Mourinho's team. The goal was exposed numerous times and Wolves could have even won if it was not for David de Gea. Lukaku's performance was poor as well, with him missing chances on numerous occasions. United's attacking tactics were sub-par, with no creative play whatsoever.
