With this result, it is the first time since 2002 since Mourinho lost three matches in a row and United will square up against Leicester City at Old Trafford on Saturday, September 27.
And Mourinho reacted: “I’m sad – obviously I’m sad. I’m always concerned when we don’t get the result we want.”
He continued: “But as I was telling the players, there is only one way – tomorrow we have a training session 10:30 in the morning. We have to be there and we have to work, but they have to show themselves a certain attitude towards the negative moments. I gave them as an example Ashley Young, who was phenomenal in his attitude and determination.”
The coach added: “We need positive people to give us positive feelings because obviously the next time these guys are going on to a football pitch they are – as a normal human being – going to obviously feel the weight of the defeat.”

Mourinho stressed: “I have this capacity of balance. Nobody saw me running around the pitch because we were winning a couple of matches and nobody sees me now really depressed. We had a strong period where we showed intensity, quality and desire. There was a creation of opportunities – the goal, the almost goal [Ibrahimovic’s header] when it was a great save by the opponent.”
He also said: “The game was going really well. The pressure was there and the team was trying to win, showing confidence. But, in one completely isolated counter-attack – I don’t remember David de Gea touching the ball in the second half – they scored a goal.”
