Jose Mourinho makes shock admission after Valencia defeat

Manchester United slumped to a limp defeat in Valencia(1-2) as Phil Jones’ own goal ensured they passed up the chance to win Champions League Group H. Following the defeat, the Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho admitted he was not surprised by defeat. Mourinho said: “I didn’t learn anything from this game, nothing that happened surprised me at all. No, not pleased [with the performance]. Before the game, I told the players if we win tonight and Juventus win, we did our job.” “If we didn’t win and Juventus didn’t win, then we can blame ourselves. In the end, my team improved when I made the changes I didn’t want to make. Which is a little bit of frustration because I didn’t want to play the three players I played in the second-half.” Moreover, Mourinho is facing up to a major injury crisis ahead of the trip to Anfield. “Chris Smalling is injured, Victor Lindelof is injured, Matteo Darmian is injured, Anthony Martial is injured and Diogo Dalot is injured,” said Mourinho. “The only two players I could bring and didn’t were David De Gea and Nemanja Matic.”
