Jose
Mourinho has joked that Manchester United’s shaky performances are causing his
hair to turn white.
After the
match, Mourinho said: “I can’t believe that double chance from Ashley Young and
Marcus Rashford.
“I can’t
understand [why we started slow]. My coaches said it was the best warm-up of
the season.
“I think a
few mistakes create instability. I love the song, ‘attack, attack, attack’ but
you need to have stability when you lose the ball.
“It happened
again against a good team but we were prepared for everything.
“We were
ready for that. We knew that Joshua King was not playing.
“I really
can’t understand the kind of mentality that brings me more white hair.”
And the
under-fire Portuguese boss said he felt like the luckiest manager in the league
after his team’s appalling start.
He added: “I
said at half-time I was the luckiest manager in the Premier League in a half
when it should be like 5/6-2.
“We were
defensively awful. As a team we didn’t press or do any of the work we did in
the week.
“People
watching this game will not believe how hard we worked this week. The first
half was a disaster.”
The Reds
went 1-0 down after Callum Wilson broke the deadlock after just 11 minutes at
the Vitality Stadium.
But Anthony
Martial bagged the equaliser before super substitute Rashford scored the winner
in stoppage time.
