The Manchester United manager who is known for his controversial statements is once again at it. This time he took a dig at the Liverpool’s atmosphere on Monday night, calling it the “quietest Anfield I’ve had”.
This came after a goalless draw in the North West derby that saw both sides being cautious of making any error. It was Manchester United who dominated the first 20 minutes not allowing Liverpool enough space to dictate the pace of the game. But, as the game progresses Liverpool got their passes together and tested the Manchester United defense line with De Gea making some fantastic saves to keep United in the game.
In an interview with BBC sport Mourinho said “the game was difficult for both teams but for longer periods it was more difficult for them than us,”
“We controlled the game not just tactically but the emotions of the game, that was probably the quietest Anfield I had and I was expecting it to be the other way.
“the reaction from their crowd was permanent disappointment. People expected us to come here and be really in trouble, which we were not.”
The game has come under heavy criticism with many fans and experts accusing Mourinho of employing negative tactics.
