Jose moans again about ‘quiet fans’

- BY STEVE BATES

JOSE MOURINHO took another swipe at Manchester United fans for failing to create any atmosphere in the Old Trafford win over Huddersfie­ld.

Despite the sombre mood after the United faithful rememberin­g the Munich air disaster, Mourinho said: “Here, it is a bit quiet and is not very, very enthusiast­ic. But the players like to play at home.

“It’s not Portsmouth – I remember when they were in the Premier League and, for such a small stadium, the atmosphere was incredible.”

The United boss has complained before about the lack of intensity from fans.

He also revealed Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini has had knee surgery after injuring himself against Tottenham and will be out for nearly two months.

“He has had surgery, but is not the end of the season – not at all,” said Mourinho.
