However, for those of you who naturally assumed that United were defensive in the game, Mourinho has used his press conference ahead of the Europa League game against Fenerbahce to clear up any confusion.
It was, in fact, Liverpool, a team who hadn't kept a clean sheet in their previous nine games, who put in a great defensive performance, and United had attempted to win the game.
"I think you aren't very fair with Liverpool because Liverpool had a fantastic defensive performance," the United manager said on Wednesday afternoon.
"For the first time they played with two defensive midfielders. For the first time they played with (Jordan) Henderson and (Emre) Can together.
"For the first time, they took a striker off to play another midfield player and you are very unfair with them. The 0-0 result was because two teams were really good defensively.
"We didn't get the result we wanted. We wanted to win and we only got a point so we were not 100% successful."
Cheers, Jose. All those "football Einsteins" had wrongly assumed it was you and your team who had put in an excellent defensive performance. It turns out they were wrong.
