MANCHESTER UNITED fell 11 points behind rivals Manchester City in the league table after their derby defeat yesterday.
Goals from David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi gave City all three points helping them set a new record of 14 consecutive Premier League victories.
While United certainly made it a contest through Marcus Rashford’s first half equaliser, fans were not happy with their defensive performance at home.
The Red Devils set up with everyone behind the ball for the majority of the game- apart from Romelu Lukaku.
Wingers Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford acted as wing-backs rather than attackers.
One particular supporter on YouTube channel ‘The United Stand’ vented his frustration at Mourinho’s approach to the match.
He said: “City have come here and f****** bossed us at Old Trafford. This is Man United we’re talking about. City have come here and f****** bossed us.
“We’ve hoofed it, Rojo, we got lucky on the f****** goal, what were his [Mourinho’s] tactics? As soon as you get it Rojo just f****** boot it.
“We’re not f****** Stoke, we’re Man-f******-United, we should be battering f****** them. That was diabolical out there. Hoof, hoof, hoof.”
The fan wasn’t too pleased with Ander Herrera either, he continued: “He’s not a box-to-box, he’s not a defensive, he can’t do a f****** killer pass, what is he on the f****** pitch for?”
Mourinho has come under fire for his ‘negative’ style of play in the past, but it has proved to be successful.
The Portuguese manager has won eight domestic league titles and picked up two Champions League trophies with FC Porto and Inter Milan – but Manchester United demand trophies as well as good football.
