Schmeichel accuses Spurs boss Mourinho of 'playing for social networks'

Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel was critical of Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho's reaction to their Europa League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

Schmeichel says Mourinho shouldn't have blanked his players after the loss.

He explained, "He should be in the locker room talking to his players to make sure they understand that what just happened is unacceptable.

"If I were the coach I would be very p***ed off. What you have to do is go to your own locker room and do what you have to do but with the door closed."

On Mourinho's post-match interview, the Dane also told CBS: "For me, he is playing for social networks, he is playing a role to disassociate himself from what happened.

"Alex Ferguson had never looked like this: he would have talked to his players and then shown respect for his opponent. This was right after the game. He would not have liked it at all."
