"Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho was disappointed with the team's performance in the 37th round of the English "Premier League, where the "Red Devils" lost to the "Brighton" team.
Yesterday, the "Red Devils" lost to the hosts 0-1. J. Mourinho made quite a few rotations in the starting eleven - in attack, Martial, Rashford, and Mata played, while Rojo and Darmian had the opportunity to show their skills in defense.
J. Mourinho immediately criticized journalists after the match for constantly asking why he plays with the same lineup so often. The Portuguese stated that the loss was due to this reason.
"We were not good enough because the players who replaced others didn't play at a high level. Individually, they were also at a low level, so it was difficult to expect a different result," J. Mourinho commented sharply about the substitutes.
"Perhaps now you will understand why some players play much more than others. I also hope that you will stop asking why player A, B, or C doesn't get more playing time," continued the Portuguese.
"Man Utd" still has a chance to finish the season in second place even after the loss. J. Mourinho said that finishing in this position is very important:
"It seems that for some of my players it doesn't matter at all whether we finish in second place. For me, it's the opposite - we must finish the season in this position. The "Brighton" guys would probably be happy just to fight and get one point, but their attitude and dedication on the field were outstanding for us."
