Mourinho tells critics to 'calm down'

Anthony Martial's late goal handed United the points and Mourinho was caught on camera at full-time staring down a camera with his finger on his lips in a sort of 'shush' gesture.

Speaking after the game, the Portuguese denied that his gesture had been made towards the Spurs bench, instead saying that it was aimed at United's critics, with Mourinho suggesting they button it.

"Some people speak too much; calm down, relax a little bit," he said after the game.

"Don't speak too much; speak, speak, speak. Relax. Relax a little bit, don't be so nervous. Don't be so excited.

"No [it was not directed at the opposition bench]. They did their job - super correct - and we have yet to arrive in a match where myself, Mauricio, my staff and his staff have a problem.

"We played against each other so many times since Spain, and we have a really good relation, [whether] we lost, or we win. I don't know if we draw, but we are always correct with each other."

Mourinho went on to say that he would have been happy with his side's performance even if United had not claimed all three points late on.

"Once more I'm even happier because we beat a very good team. I like the team very, very much," he explained.

"I like a lot of [our] performance, independent of the result. If the result is 0-0 or 1-1, my feelings with the players and the team would be the same because they gave absolutely everything.

"Every ball was like the most important ball of their career, the concentration and focus was there, and we cannot forget the quality of the team we were playing against."
