Manchester United on this weekend lost a good hand in the excellent situation after 2-2 draw against Leicester City. The Red Devils has a 13-point gap after the campaign, the possibility of catching up even smaller.
Speaking to media after the match, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho told they could win the match but they missed the opportunities.
“We did not win, because we missed the incredible opportunities, I would say that those opportunities didn’t enter is ridiculous, which could have easily won the match, but we have accumulated a lot of defensive end wrong,” Mourinho said.
“I told the players during the break, the score is 1-1, you can easily win, but the reality is the end result is 2-2 draw. Sometimes you make mistakes will not be punished, tonight we were their own mistake.
“When you miss the chance, you lose the ball rightly and you behave like a lid on both sides of the penalty area, you’re punished, and we lost two points today.
“It feels like a failure, and sometimes you get a 1-point fell OK, because you can take it a positive result when you get 1 point, but that’s obviously not the case today. Winning the match, so it is easy to say we lost the score.” Mourinho added.
Former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager reacted after Chris Samlling, who was suffering with a groin injury at the end the match.
“Yes, he was injured I had a chance to communicate with Ashley Young, told his team’s situation, because Smalling was injured.” Mourinho said.
“But I cannot say a momentary two minutes to the team and players should adapt and read the match right away, but they did not.” the Portuguese manager added.

When asked about Rushford’s penalty, Mourinho said: I don’t know if my players have been fouled. Rushford had a clear penalty shootout against Swansea last season, but he did not make a decision, and the rest have been I don’t know if today is our penalty.
“Mahrez yellow card because he fault, If Rushford gets a penalty for the team, and the referee has not been punished. I will not criticise because Leicester performed well and if Rushford is not as clever as other players. I only talk about this match. All I can ay is that we can easily win when the score is 1-1.” he added.
