Mourinho sounds Liverpool rallying call
Jose Mourinho has called for Manchester United fans to make more noise when Liverpool visit Old Trafford this Sunday.
Utd took control of their EFL Cup semi-final tie after goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini gave them a 2-0 win over Hull City.
With a comfortable victory expected by most observers, the atmosphere in the stadium wasn't the most electric and Mourinho has called on the fans to lift it for Sunday's crunch game.
"I was expecting a difficult match, I was not expecting to win four or five," he told Sky Sports. "1-0 for me would be always a good result, but 2-0 obviously is better. We are not at Wembley, but the second goal maybe is the important goal.
"I was a bit disappointed with the first half. Of course they were well organised defensively like I was expecting, and it wasn’t easy for us, but I think we were a bit sloppy, complicated things, taking an extra touch, always delaying the decision, giving them time to regroup.
"It was not our best first half. The players had to do better, I
had to do better, the fans also could do better. The second half we
improve just a little bit. Sunday, the players need to do better, I need
to do better and the stadium needs to do better too."
