Jose Mourinho makes surprise admission after Man Utd’s shoot-out win over Real Madrid

JOSE MOURINHO has made a surprise revelation after Manchester United’s victory over Real Madrid.
Manchester United took the spoils against the reigning European champions in a pre-season encounter in the States by virtue of penalties.

Nothing separated the sides after 90 minutes and in the shoot-out, only three of the 10 spot-kicks were converted.




Amongst the takers for United were new boy Victor Lindelof, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial who all missed from 12 yards out.

And when asked for his thoughts on the shoot-out, Mourinho said: “Three out of 10 penalties – that’s pre-season.

“I didn’t choose my best penalty takers.”
When quizzed on what his wider thoughts on the game were, Mourinho took a slightly critical tone over the second-half display.

He added: “It was a good training session.

“A very good first half against a top Real side. In the second half we lost motivation, intensity and appetite to play against their youngsters.
“The players in the second half were disappointed not to play against their best players.”

Manchester United will take on Real again in the Super Cup on August 8.
