MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho has criticised Liverpool for their 'defensive' performance in Monday night's goalless draw.
United ended the match with just one shot on target in the 90 minutes while Liverpool were viewed as the more attacking team after forcing David de Gea into two excellent saves.
But Mourinho insists he wasn't completely happy with the point and said the result was because both teams were strong in defence.
He said: "We wanted to win but just got a point. So we were not 100 per cent successful.
"I think you were very unfair on Liverpool because they had a fantastic defensive performance.
"For the first time they played with two defensive midfielders - Henderson and Can.
"For the first time they took a striker off to play another midfielder.
"And you are very unfair with them because the 0-0 result was due to two teams who are really good defensively."
