Mourinho Happy Over Liverpool Draw At Old Trafford

Jurgen Klopp’s side lost their chances of equalling a premier league record with an 18th win in succession in their encounter against Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford scored at the end of a counterattack putting United ahead in the 36th minute with a controversially upheld goal. VAR upheld the goal despite Liverpool claiming Victor Lindelof fouled Divock Origi. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side saw a potential equaliser from Sadio Mane ruled out following a video review. Man united unable to hold on for a win as Adam Lallana tapped in with five minutes remaining.

Erstwhile United boss, Mourinho praised Solskjaer’s game plan of three-man defence as it troubled Klopp, with Liverpool unable to match a Premier League record.

“[Klopp] didn’t like the menu – he wanted meat and got fish,” Mourinho said on Sky Sports .

“They are happy playing against opposition who give chances on the counterattack. Of course, United, with the limitations they have at the moment, played a different profile of game.

“They tried to stop the transition, played always with three centre-backs in position, always compact. Liverpool didn’t like the menu.

“Liverpool missed the quality to play against a low block. I have to admit I’m really happy they didn’t win because the other record [Chelsea’s nine-match winning streak to start a season in 2005-06] is mine, not theirs.”
