Mourinho: Man Utd line-up selected to attack

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho insists he set up his team for goals after their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

Mourinho questioned his players' "heart" at the final whistle.

And he also remarked: “You cannot play with nine attacking players, we have to play with a certain balance but, of course, we played with four players in attack and we were dynamic to arrive in dangerous positions.

"We started really well but, again, I think when you play to win matches, you don't stop until you win and we were playing well but we gave them periods of time, periods during the first and the second half. We gave them periods to rest, to breathe, to feel that they were a little bit under control and that gives life to the opponents that come here to fight for a point."
