Jose Mourinho SLAMS Man Utd players and aims dig at Ed Woodward after Valencia draw

JOSE MOURINHO has fired shots at his own players and Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward following the Red Devils’ draw with Valencia.
The Red Devils were once again uninspiring under Mourinho, with Valencia holding United to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.

Manchester United struggled to dominate against the Spanish side, much to the frustration of the Old Trafford faithful, who booed off their players at full time.

And Mourinho, who has cut a frustrated figure all season, hit out at his men – and aimed a dig at Woodward over failing to back him in the summer window – after the game.
“There were some improvements in our performance. We had probably a couple of the biggest chances to win it but I have accepted the result as a fair result,” he said.
“I said in pre-season last season was phenomenal to finish second. And I don’t say more than that.



“The players tried. They raised the level of their efforts. They raised the level of their intensity in spite of the fact we don’t have many with that intensity.

“We don’t have the technical quality to build from the back.

“We tried to do something we did well which was to stop a fast team on the counter attack. We knew we wouldn’t create 20 chances.
“Our attacking players aren’t in their best moments of confidence and individual level. We thought with three or four chances we would score and win the game.

“It is a not a bad result. Not a good result, but not bad. We have two matches against Juventus to make points. It is a very difficult group, yes.

“We have Newcastle before the league stops then we have Chelsea and Juventus in three days. It will be good for the team if we can beat Newcastle.

“I think there are things that are difficult for me to say. I think you have enough reasons to criticise me.”
