‘We Are Still Unbeaten’- Man United Boss Mourinho Claims Despite Losing 2-1 To Hull City




Jose Mourinho claimed Manchester United were “still unbeaten” as he refused to recognise Hull’s penalty in their EFL Cup semi-final defeat.

United went down 2-1 on Humberside as their 17-match unbeaten run came to an end, but Paul Pogba’s goal ensured they won 3-2 on aggregate to set up a meeting with Southampton at Wembley.
Hull’s opener on the night came from the penalty spot after referee Jon Moss spotted a Marcos Rojo foul on Harry Maguire.
Mourinho, who has twice been given touchline bans this season, would not comment on the decision in a brief post-match interview with Sky Sports.
And the United boss – who celebrated his 54th birthday on Thursday – went to greater lengths still to avoid the subject in his post-match press conference, repeatedly refusing to speak about the penalty and even claiming he “did not see” any Hull goal other than Oumar Niasse’s second.
“We didn’t lose,” he said. “It was 1-1. I only saw two goals. I saw a Pogba goal and their goal, a fantastic goal. It was 1-1, we are still unbeaten. I think 18 matches unbeaten is amazing.
“I didn’t see Hull’s first goal. We celebrate, we are in the final. I don’t want to speak about the penalty or the performance. The game was in our pocket, under our control, and something happened to open the game.
“The game was dead. The game was what we wanted it to be. I don’t want to say anything else, it is enough. I am calm. I behaved on the bench. No sending off, no punishment, so no more words.”
