Seems like the time when Jose Mourinho made up excuses when his team lost is gone, as The Special One came clean about Manchester United's performance against Huddersfield Town, which saw the Red Devils lose a game against the Terriers for the first time in 65 years.
The Portuguese boss didn't hold back while aiming digs against his players' display at John Smith's Stadium, considering that the team hadn't lost an EPL game this season.
Jose Mourinho - “ We got what we deserved. The team who wanted it more won the match”.

Mourinho: “The mistakes were exactly the consequence of what we were in the first half - a bad team that deserved to be punished.”

Jose Mourinho “The best team won.”

Needless to say, going to the dressing rooms with a two-goal disadvantage didn't help Manchester United's display. In fact, Mourinho's record while trailing an EPL match is something he needs to work on.

The Red Devils will have to forget quickly about the disappointment caused by this game to focus on their League Cup match against Swansea next Tuesday.
