Manchester United fans disappointed with weak performance vs Brighton

“I’m very proud of the performance, particularly the reaction from last week and a knowledge with the quality that United have got, if you allow them to play the game then they can hurt you”.

“They could be spending £200m but if they lose Harry Kane or Christian Eriksen… the biggest investment was keeping all their best players”.

Mourinho, though, refused to single out any of his players for particular criticism, saying he had learned from being “too honest, too open in my analysis” in the past. “For me that´s the story of the game”, said Mourinho.

“I was disappointed for Lewis”. I tried to help the team as much as possible.

The England global was named in Jose Mourinho’s first starting line up for the 2018-19 Premier League season.

“I don’t want to go in that direction”.

United rarely looked like mounting a fightback and Paul Pogba’s penalty with virtually the last kick of the game came way too late.

“Deep down Jose Mourinho will know he wanted men of authority and leadership at the centre of his defence and he doesn’t feel he’s got them”.

“We were punished by the mistakes we made. We’ll keep trying and keep pushing and obviously it’s a lesson for us”.

Pogba’s goal was nothing more than a consolation though as the Seagulls held on to register a second consecutive win over United at the Amex Stadium, while Mourinho now will have some serious thinking to ahead of the game against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend. Different teams, different tactics. It affects his image if people believe in it and it affects my image if people think I have no control and don’t have a good relationship with players. “The attitude always has to be very good and we missed that”.

At Burnley, Watford made it two wins out of two and ended their run of poor away form in impressive fashion as early second half strikes from captain Troy Deeney and Will Hughes gave them a 3-1 win at Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.

“I am very proud with the performance”, Hughton said. The tempo was very good. The team had the same number of shots (3) as the Red Devils, but they were more clinical and far-more deserving.

The fall-out from Manchester City’s “All Or Nothing” documentary continues with Graeme Souness sharing his thoughts on Jose Mourinho’s comments about the Premier League champions lacking “class”.

“That is true, you can not buy class”, City’s manager said. I know you can not always play very, very good. It’s a great thing for me to come in front of the cameras and say players A, B, C put in fantastic performances.
