Looking for someone to blame for his side's 2-1 defeat at the
hands of Manchester City in the derby on Saturday afternoon,
Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho launched a tirade
at Referee Mark Clattenburg, who the Portuguese claims
bungled things up badly in the game.
Mourinho told BBC Sport after the game, "Mark made two big
mistakes. Claudio Bravo is a penalty and a red card ? if one of
my players do that in the middle of the park - if Fellaini or
Rooney do that in the middle of the park - it?s a red card and
a free-kick. In the box it is more difficult to give and he didn?t
want to give it."
         With no one else seemingly aware of either incident that
Mourinho was referring to, Jose explained, "The second one is
a handball by Nicolas Otamendi ? some pundits will say no
because it's the back of the arm but he knows. He' s looking at
the ball. We are not happy with these decisions."
Jose also added that he felt his side deserved at least a point
from the game on the balance of play, especially their showing
in the second half. Mourinho said, "We were a team that had
the courage and honesty and dignity to chase with pride the
result which I think we deserved ? we deserved a goal in the
second half."
Up next for United is a trip to the Netherlands to take on
Feyenoord in the Europa League in midweek.
