EPL: Mourinho slams critics after Manchester United's 2-1 win over Liverpool

Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho slammed criticism of Manchester United's cautious approach in their 2-1 win over bitter rivals Liverpool on Saturday. Marcus Rashford scored twice in the first 25 minutes at Old Trafford as United held off a Liverpool fightback to move five points clear of their visitors in second place in the Premier League. United also closed to within 13 points of Manchester City, but barring a late-season collapse by the runaway league leaders, that gap looks unbridgeable.

Jurgen Klopp's side dominated possession as United sat back for long periods and Eric Bailly's 66th-minute own goal set up a tense finish. "If people don't think we deserved it, I don't care. I am a bit tired. We have a match on Tuesday and I really don't care what people say. The boys are happy," he said.
