Jose Mourinho demands ‘respect’ from media after Spurs inflict worst ever home defeat on Manchester United manager
Portuguese ups and leaves after 3-0 home humiliation but not before defending his record winning the English Premier League title
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho stormed out of his press conference following Monday’s 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, ranting about the three titles he won with Chelsea and demanding “respect” from those reporters present.
Coming soon after he had stood at length in front of a mainly empty Stretford End applauding United’s fans, it added to a somewhat bizarre epilogue on another miserable night for the 20-times English champions.
“We lost against Sevilla (last season in the Champions League last 16) and we were booed because we deserved it. Today the players left the pitch after losing at home and they were applauded because they deserved it, so we keep trying, trying, trying,” Mourinho said.

“What was the score? This (holding three fingers up). What is this also? Three Premierships I have won, more Premierships than the other 19 managers put together. Me three, them two,” he said. “Respect, respect, respect.”
