Fans wasted their moneyonthis game: Mourinho

Jose says USA ‘deserves more’ than weakened team

for soccer deserves more. They deserve the best teams and invest to bring the best clubs to the US.

“But we, and some other clubs, were not able to give to the people the real quality football that can attract even more passion in this country.”

Mourinho (left) complaining about his squad being decimated by so many of his players being on postWorld Cup holidays has been a constant theme of United’s unhappy trip across the Atlantic.

The likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, as well as the England quartet of Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford, are still absent.

Antonio Valencia and Chris Smalling also missed the Liverpool defeat through injury, while Anthony Martial had returned home to attend the birth of his second child.

Alexis Sanchez did feature in Michigan, but he cut a frustrated figure as Andreas Pereira’s stunning free-kick strike provided scant consolation for a United side ripped apart by Liverpool.

Asked about Sanchez’s demeanour, Mourinho replied: “Do you want me to be very happy with the players he has around him?

“We are not playing here to improve the team, the dynamic or our routines.

“We are playing just to try to survive and not have some ugly results. Alexis is the only attacking player that we have.

“We don’t have wingers, we don’t have strikers. He is the only one who is here and the poor man is trying his best with the frustration of somebody who wants more.

“This is not our team, this is not our squad — not even 30 per cent of it. “We start the game with almost half the players who are not even going to belong to our squad on August 9 (transfer deadline day).

“So what did this game give me? Nothing. Nothing at all.” Mourinho revealed more worrying injury news with Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic set to miss the start of the season after undergoing surgery in the US.

“We had four or five players today who care for the club and try to give everything,” Mourinho said.

“They even risked themselves because they don’t want to let all the kids by themselves on the pitch against Milan, Liverpool, Real Madrid.

“Matic has had surgery. He is out for the start of the season.

“He came from the World Cup with the injury and the time he had to rest on holiday was not enough to resolve the problem.”
