The Portuguese manager dipped into his habit of tempestuous post-match interviews by hitting out at pundits and commentators of the game.

Manchester United all but sealed their qualification for the last-16 round, but manager Jose Mourinho seemed irritated in the post-match interview.

"We didn't qualify yet? Four victories and it's not enough.. we must get that one point," he said. "It's better for the specialists to comment on the game than for me to give my opinion."

"The specialists are paid to comment on my work so let them comment," he added, referring to reporters and TV pundits he believes have wronged him.

"I'm more than happy," he continued. "We changed players, broke the natural dynamic of the team and played a kid from the academy, we scored two, didn't concede, three more points, more money for the club, no significant injuries, I'm more than happy."
