Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has claimed he is “sad” despite their 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday.
It was their fifth straight Premier League victory, but United needed to fight back from a goal down. Grant Leadbitter gave the visitors a second-half lead, before goals from Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba won it for the Red Devils.
Mourinho says he did not enjoy the victory over his former assistant, Aitor Karanka too much.
“It’s a very good feeling, as I was expecting I don’t feel the same happiness because my brother is on the other side,” Mourinho told the BBC.
“Aitor Karanka did his job amazing away but my brother is sad so I’m sad.
“My players were phenomenal. We managed to do something I love – bring the fans to the pitch. The last 15 mins were 70,000 on the pitch against 11.”
On why Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s goal was disallowed, Mourinho added: “(Referee) Mr Mason is the one that knows that but he knows he made a mistake. I think it’s sad because referees are sad when they make mistakes.”
