I prefer 10 draws to 5 wins – Mourinho

Manchester United coach, Jose Mourinho, caused some controversy during his Friday press conference, after he declared that he would prefer to have less points and be unbeaten, than have more numbers with defeats.

United are currently on a 20-game unbeaten run, but their 10 draws in the sequence, have seen them struggle to leave sixth place in the Premier League.

However, speaking ahead of Sunday’s away clash against Sunderland, Mourinho said: “I think it’s a good feeling to know we don’t lose many matches, that we have a fantastic run of 20 games unbeaten in the Premier League.

“I know as an example 10 matches, 10 draws, 10 points. Or 10 matches, five victories, five defeats, 15 points.

“What’s better? The 15 points obviously.

“But in terms of looking to the future, I prefer to look at 10 matches, 10 draws because you have something that’s not easy to have.

“You are quite solid mentally, difficult to beat, you fight against difficult circumstances, that kind of mentality of resilience, it’s good to have it.”
