The Portuguese boss has drawn plenty of attention after his side's performance against Manchester City, and little of it has been positive Just 35 per cent possession, and only 25 in the entire first half. No shots before the 45th minute, at which stage they were already 1-0 down. Fewer passes in the full match than their opponents completed in the first half alone. The damning statistics behind Manchester United’s 2-1 derby loss to neighbours City on Sunday ran much deeper than the scoreline itself, and each one only seemed to underline the argument of those opposed to Jose Mourinho’s game plan. He had gladly handed over the initiative to the best team in the country and his side had been utterly impotent on those few occasions they actually got on the ball.
