Jose Mourinho felt his Manchester United side were determined to produce a winning result against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Red Devils conceded to a James Milner penalty in the first half, after Paul Pogba had been penalised for handball, before Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalised in the 84th minute with a close-range header.

After the match, Mourinho took a thinly veiled swipe at opposite number Jurgen Klopp who he feels instructed the Reds to play for a draw in the north-west derby.

Asked if he was happy with the point, Mourinho said: "I'm not happy. Whether it's good or bad, I'm not happy.

"When are you losing and score in the last part of the game, the team that concedes the goal feels worse than the team who scores, but in the end we lost the points because we were playing for three.

"And the way they played, I think they were happy with the point, so probably they go away happy."

However, Mourinho was quick to heap praise on Klopp's team who he feels defended extremely well under trying conditions at the Theatre of Dreams.

"In the second half, Liverpool were winning and they know how to defend – they defend very well," he added.

"I think they press really well and their lateral movement is good.

"When we played at Anfield, we had a phenomenal defensive performance with lots of critics; today I think Liverpool don't deserve critics, I think they deserve people to say that defensively they are very good."
