MANCHESTER. — Jose Mourinho has told his Manchester United players to learn from the attitude Wolves displayed in Saturday’s 1-1 draw.

Despite coming into the game on the back of three successive away wins in all competitions, United were nowhere near their best as they returned to Old Trafford for the first time since late August.

Fred’s first goal for the club gave them the lead in the 18th minute, but Wolves — who were vastly superior to United for parts of the opening half — deservedly levelled just after the break, with Joao Moutinho finding the net.

And Mourinho was left irritated by the attitude of his players, seemingly envious of Wolves’ mentality.

“Not a good performance, not a good result,” Mourinho told reporters. “A fair result.

“I think Wolves, by the way they faced the game, they deserve (the point) because they play like I like to play, which is like the World Cup final.

“That’s the attitude that I like my teams to have every match, and we didn’t have that. They had (it), we didn’t.

“The attitude made the difference. They were in the game since the first minute, they played every ball, every second in the maximum of their intensity, their desire, and we didn’t. “We start poorly, we start both halves at a low intensity.” — AFP.
