It was one of the most shameful defeats for the Manchester United as the Tottenham Hotspurs pipped the team by 0-3 at the Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho who has been in the eye of the storm for his poor strategies obviously looked highly disappointed with the team’s performance. Plus, the supporters of Tottenham Hotspur displayed their nasty side by chanting, “Sacked in the morning' and 'You're not special anymore.” It was England captain Harry Kane who scored the first goal of the match at the 50th minute. Then it was Lucas Moura who scored a couple of goals one at 52nd and the other at 80th minute. In return, Manchester United could not do much apart from creating chances and missing them. This obviously added on to his pressure. However, little did the media know that they would have had to bear the brunt of his frustration. Check out the video highlights of the match here.
The Portuguese held up his three fingers and asked the press, “Do you know what this means? 3-0. That also means three Premiership (titles) and I won more Premiership alone than the other 19 managers together. Three for me and two for them.” Mourinho repeated himself and said, “Respect, respect, respect,” as he stormed out of the press conference. Check out the video below.

During the post-match interview, he had a defensive tone and said, “We worked all week and from the tactical point of view we didn’t lose, but we lost the game. But all our fans don’t read papers, all our fans don’t watch television, all our fans are more intelligent than that — they answered in an absolutely amazing way. I don’t think it’s normal to lose a game at home and the supporters to react the way they did.”
