The Manchester United manager botched his post-match press conference after watching his side slump to a massive loss.

Jose Mourinho post-match antics added to an odd turn of events following Manchester United's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. The Portuguese manager's side, despite playing what is arguably their best game yet this season, failed to capitalize on a host of goalscoring opportunities and ended up falling on the wrong end of a 3-0 scoreline.

The sight of an almost empty Old Trafford before full-time tells the whole story and Jose, perhaps elicited by the loss, spent a lengthy period applauding the faithfuls who endured till the end of the thumping. In addition to this, the 55-year-old manager's post-match press conference took an unusual route.

Mourinho – after giving his assessment of the significance of the results as well as the demeanor of the fans – walked out muttering "respect" repeatedly as a response to a question which he felt rubbed the night's result at his face. Prior to his withdrawal, the Manchester United manager reiterated that the result was not reflective of his team's overall performance and lashed out at the media personnel present for being bias in their reportage.

"I won three Premier League titles, which is more than any of the other 19 managers. Respect, please," Mourinho repetitively mentioned while he headed for the exit door. Watch: 

The result placed Manchester United at 13th on the league log with the club acquiring just three points from a possible nine. The Old Trafford outfit will be hoping to make amends when they travel to Burnley on Sunday although Mourinho's future is seemingly up in the air.
