Jose hits out at his Theatre of Dreams

- By Dominic King

JOSE MOURINHO criticised the Old Trafford atmosphere after Alexis Sanchez scored his first goal for Manchester United in a comfortabl­e win over Huddersfie­ld.

Sanchez netted on the rebound after his penalty was saved by Jonas Lossi to double an advantage provided by Romelu Lukaku.

Talking of his new signing, Mourinho said: ‘He played only three (matches) and the first at Old Trafford, and I think Old Trafford, in spite of being a quiet stadium, the pitch is big, the grass is nice and the players are comfortabl­e playing here.

Asked to explain his comments, Mourinho said: ‘It’s not Portsmouth. I remember Portsmouth — such a small stadium, the atmosphere was absolutely incredible. In here, the atmosphere is a bit quiet and there is not very (much enthusiasm). But the players like to play at home.’
