Man Utd boss Mourinho takes Klopp pop: You're at home. Why didn't you change?!

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho had a dig at Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool tactics for today's 0-0 draw.

While Mourinho has been pilloried for his approach to the stalemate, who countered the criticism in the post-match media conference.

Before launching into his response, Mourinho began by stating: "Don't ask me to comment on what Jurgen said. I'm not here for that."

He then explained how he saw the game pan out.

"We didn't come for one point, we came for three. But in the second-half we found it difficult to do that. I was waiting for Jurgen to change. I was waiting for him to go more attacking. But he kept the three strong midfield players all the time."

Mourinho added: "Maybe if we scored in the first-half, he would've opened things up and given me more space to counter. But he didn't give it to me.

"So I know you think we were defensive and they were more offensive. But when at home and you don't move anything, well, I don't know. I was waiting for that.

"But I think he did well. I think he did well."
