You don’t know what you’re booing
JOSE TELLS UNITED FANS TO SHUT IT
JOSE MOURINHO silenced the Manchester United boo boys after substitute Anthony Martial’s late strike lit up Old Trafford. The United boss put his finger to his lips at the final whistle after being jeered for replacing Marcus Rashford with Martial for the final 20 minutes.
The French striker was the Reds’ match-winner 11 minutes later, racing onto Romelu Lukaku’s flick to beat Hugo
Lloris. Mourinho said: “Some people speak too much. Calm down, relax a little bit.
“Don’t speak too much. It’s speak, speak, speak. Relax. Don’t be so excited, calm down.
“I like the performance, independent of the result. If the result was 0-0, if it was 1-1, my feelings with the players would be the same. Every ball was like the most important ball of their career.”
Now it’s Mauricio Pochettino’s turn to come under scrutiny after Tottenham again failed to cope in the absence of Harry Kane.
Pochettino said: “You’re always going to miss your main striker... but it’s not an excuse.”
