Manchester United defender, Luke Shaw has revealed what they were told by manager, Jose Mourinho during half time of their 3-0 loss to Tottenham on Monday night.
Shaw said he could not quite understand how United managed to let their performance level slip so much in the second half, with Mourinho full of praises for them at half-time.
Mourinho was delighted with United’s first-half display against Tottenham and told his players they were in total control at half-time, according to Shaw.
The Red Devils were unlucky not to take the lead at Old Trafford, as their first-half endeavour was undone by goals from Harry Kane and Lucas Moura in a clinical second half.
“You look at the first half, we were outstanding,” Shaw told MUTV.
“We had a lot of chances to put the game to bed. If we score, it’s game over.
“Second half, we spoke inside, Jose said ‘they haven’t had one corner, one cross, one dangerous opportunity.
‘Actually to be fair they did, a couple of times we made mistakes in the first half. But no corners, no crosses, nothing.’
“But first corner they get comes the goal. Even then maybe we should have been relaxed, it’s only one goal, we still had time.
“But then comes another mistake, another silly, stupid goal. We were so on top, so it’s really disappointing.
“Everyone in the dressing room is really sad, especially after the first half we had. Big thank you to the fans for the way they supported us, even when we were down 3-0 they were amazing.”
