Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has admitted that the brilliant defending from Christian Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, stopped his side from winning their Champions League Group H tie on Tuesday.
Paulo Dybala scored the only goal of the match in the 17th minute, to hand Juve all three points.
The Serie A champions are now top of the group with nine points, while United have four points after three fixtures.
“We played against one of the biggest candidates to win the Champions League and we did the possible. Mr Bonucci and Mr Chiellini could give some Havard classes on how to be a defender. Fantastic, absolutely fantastic,” Mourinho said.
The Portuguese also admitted that United were always going to fight for second place in the group with Valencia.
“Like [after] the draw, we knew it would be a fight with Valencia for second position,” he added.
