Man United boss Jose Mourinho
Man United manager Jose Mourinho stoked the embers of his rivalry with Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger after his side’s damaging 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium. Second-half goals by Granit Xhaka and United alumnus Danny Welbeck earned Arsenal a win on Sunday as Wenger overcame Mourinho in an EPL game for the first time in 13 attempts.

Mourinho had claimed that “peace” reigned between himself and Wenger prior to the game, but he questioned the Frenchman’s poor record against him afterwards and accused him of putting unfair pressure on the fourth official.
“Arsenal fans are happy and I’m happy for them,” said Mourinho, whose side had been unbeaten in 25 league games. “It’s the first time I leave Highbury or Emirates and they’re happy. I left Highbury, they were crying. I left the Emirates, they were crying. They were walking the streets with heads low. Finally they sing, they (wave) their scarves. It’s nice for them,” Mourinho added.
