MOURINHO: THE GAME WAS VERY MUCH OPEN

Mourinho doesn't agree United were outplayed

                                                       Mourinho

Most fans believed that mancity dominated their rivals during the Sunday derby, Mourinho felt that the game was more open and his team weren't outclassed by the opposition. He also suggests that recent matches at Bournemouth and Juventus had done his players no favors while City were lucky to have faced Southampton and Shaktar Donetsk at home."

 The game was open, in a week they played three home games and won 6-1 6-0, everything nice and easy but we played two matches away, difficult ones where the second one was like a final against one of the best teams in Europe and we gave everything both physically and mentally . The injury of Pogba also affected us, we had to play Fellaini for 90 minutes and he wasn't ready.

 I can imagine when the results 2-1 and I bring on a fresh Fellaini, they would be in big trouble, we missed Paul for different reasons but that isn't an excuse. And as for the stats, it's people who doesn't understand football that analyse with stats, I don't go for stats, I go for what I felt in the game and it was there until minute 80-something,my team only made mistakes, that wasn't a bad performance."
