Mourinho's vow to end his fiery press conferences seems to have ended, as the Portuguese manager didn't hold back after losing his first game as Manchester United's boss.
"The Special One" admitted his team deserved to be losing after the first 45 minutes. Nevertheless, the Portuguese boss blamed the ref for two controversial decisions that could have changed the game's outcome.
"The first one involved Bravo's tackle against Rooney. He should've called a penalty and sent him off. But I guess he thought the game would've changed very much and decided not to card him. The other one came when Otamendi elbowed one of my players," Mourinho stated.
And before the presser came to an end, Mourinho took time to analyze how some of his players had disappointing performances, which ended damaging the team's chances of success.
A game of two halves.
