Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has hit out at Gary Neville over criticism of his time in charge.

Neville said his former club were in hindsight wrong to appoint a manager like Mourinho, who did not align with United's traditional philosophy.

"You are in the direction of a lie told a thousand times become truth and it is not true," he said.

"When people remember the incredible match that Inter played in Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final with 10 men, people say that was a masterclass of defensive football but was two buses parked.

"You don't say that two weeks before [it was] Inter 3 Barcelona 1. We put ourselves in the position to go there and defend that result, playing with 10 men against the best team in the world, because two weeks before we beat them 3-1 and it should be four or five."
