West Ham boss Bilic: Why I have sympathy for Man Utd's Mourinho...

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has sympathised with Manchester Unitedd manager Jose Mourinho after he was sent off in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on the weekend.

Mourinho was sent off by match referee Jon Moss after he kicked a bottle in anger when reactiing to Paul Pogba's first-half yellow card for simulation.

Bilic jokingly said: "The problem is that he hit that bottle like - well it was a great volley, to be fair.

"He should have mis-kicked it! He hit it too good.

"Why I have sympathy with him is that situation with Pogba, it really looked from our angle - and he was close to me - that it didn't look like a dive.

"It was obvious, and it was a great decision from the referee. But from our point it did not look like a dive."
