Man Utd boss Mourinho on Rudiger opener: Every player knows who they're marking...

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says Paul Pogba knows he messed up for Chelsea's opener on Saturday.

Pogba lost Toni Rudiger at a corner for the German to head home early in the first-half.

After the 2-2 draw, Mourinho explained: “I don't see because I'm far [away] but what I can tell you is that we defended mixed - we had some players in the zone and some on opponents. Every player knows with closed eyes which player is his player, which space is his space in case of him being on the zonal.

"If something happened where they lost the opponent or something that made them that way because they knew it clearly which opponent was theirs."
