Man Utd boss Mourinho: Media has to make up their mind on my teams!

Jose Mourinho has urged the media to make up their mind on the way his Manchester United team plays.

The Portuguese tactician has been criticised in the past for deploying a boring and defensive brand of football, which has won him titles.

Now, his Red Devils side is playing creative and attacking football which is easy on the eye but failing to obtain the required result to become a genuine title contender.

"You [the press] have to make a decision because when my teams are playing pragmatic football and winning matches and winning titles, you say that it is not right and nice," Mourinho said in the wake of the 1-1 draw with Everton.

"When my teams like now, they play very, very well, and there is a huge change to the past two or three years, now you say what matters is to get results, it doesn't matter what.

"At this moment in the Premier League we have teams getting results that defend with eleven players, kick the ball and attack the space in the counter-attack. It's phenomenal, it's beautiful.

"So we have to make a decision, we have to make a decision. And yes, we have to score more goals. If (Ander) Herrera, instead of hitting the post, makes it 2-0, then goodbye. Result."
