UEL: Unhappy Mourinho reacts to second straight defeat

-

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho believes his lads deserved more form their 1-0 defeat at Feyenoord on Thursday night in Holland.
Mourinho watched helplessly from the sidelines as his United side went down to a late Tonny Vilhena goal that should have been ruled out for offside in the build-up.
Reacting after his second successive defeat as the Reds boss, Mourinho had made eight changes to his starting XI had this to say after the game.
"Of course I'm unhappy. We lose the game in a moment we didn't deserve to. The second half, the game was even. We were always in control.
“We were trying to win, they were trying not to lose. It is double unlucky because it was a clear offside.
"The second half was better than the first. In the Europa League, we are going to be the team everyone wants to beat." Mourinho told BT Sport.
On if his players should have given more than they did on the night, the former Chelsea boss who was fired at Stamford Bridge last December said: "I don't want to go in that direction. I don't want to personalise.
"Obviously, some played better than others. It was the first game for some. We go back to a normal team without so many changes.
Up next for Manchester United is a trip to Vicarage Road in a Premier League action on Sunday where they take on Odion Ighalo and his Watford troops.

Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open for this position the
