Mourinho attacks Man Utd players after Cup win: Lack of personality, class and desire

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho blasted his players after their FA Cup win over Brighton.

Luke Shaw was hauled off at half-time following a resurgence from Brighton down the right-hand side.

United were 1-0 up at the time but that still didn't stop Mourinho from taking action.

And the Special One has now laid bare his thoughts on Shaw's performance, with the England international most likely facing another spell out of the side as a result.

Mourinho ranted: “I wanted to defend better. I wanted more personality in the team, because many, many times I felt [Nemanja] Matic was an island.

“He was surrounded by a lack of personality, a lack of class and a lack of desire."
