Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is upset with the five substitutes rule for the Premier League restart.

Mourinho claimed the rule-change would benefit clubs with the strongest squads and suggested it was never put to a vote of top-flight shareholders.

"It was not our idea, it was not our request," Mourinho said when asked by the London Evening Standard for his view on the temporary new law.

"We just decided to let it go and to let the majority decide. Or not the majority, because I don't think it was even a vote of the organisations to make the decision. And that's it. We'll adapt to it. When I was asked, I was not in favour and not against, so I just adapt to the way it is.

"I think it's good for the teams with better benches, with strong squads with lots of good options on the bench. And I think – no, I can confirm – that the idea came from powerful clubs, and that confirms my theory. But you don't need to be very clever to understand that."
