Mourinho attacks Solskjaer over Son-Heung comments

It didn’t start well for Manchester United, but it ended perfectly. Their 1-3 away win against Tottenham started with a Cavani’s dissalowed goal, after the referee consulted VAR and decided that McTominay’s slap across Son’s face was a faul. The Argentinian went on to score the second goal for the Red Devils, in a game which they managed to overturn the score from 1-0 to 1-3 and pile more misery on Jose Mourinho.

But, all was not forgotten. After the game, usually calm Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still angry that his team was denied of a goal, and accused Heung-Min Son of “conning” referee Chris Kavanagh.

"We weren’t conned, the referee was. We shouldn’t be conned. I have to say, if my son stays down for three minutes and he needs his 10 mates to help him up, he won’t get any food“ said the Norwegian after the match.

Mourinho suffers another disappointment as Man United beat Tottenham in London

This statement was enough for Jose Mourinho, who is already under great pressure after his first ever 10 defeats season. The Portuguese firstly criticized media for not asking him about Ole’s comments, and then launched an attack on his fellow colleague before storming out of the Zoom press conference.

“ First of all, let me tell you something. I’m very, very surprised that after the comments that Ole made on Sonny, you don’t ask me about it. Because – and I told Ole already this because I met him just a few minutes ago – if it’s me, telling that player A B or C from another club, if it was my son I wouldn’t give him dinner tonight, what would be the reaction of that? It’s very very sad. I think it’s really sad that you don’t ask me about that. It’s sad you don’t have the moral honestly to treat me the same way as you treat others. In relation to that, I just want to say that Sonny is very lucky that his father is a better person than Ole. I am a father. I think as a father you have always to feed your kids. Doesn’t matter what they do. If you have to steal to feed your kids, you steal. I'm very very disappointed. As we say in Portugal, bread is bread and cheese and is cheese. I told Ole already what I think about his comments and I’m very disappointed that in five, six seven questions you ignore the dimensions of that comment.” said Mourinho before leaving the press conference.
