"He's coming out in press conferences, he's constantly having a go at players, he's having a go at people above him because he's not getting what he wants.

Back on BT Sport, Rio Ferdinand took issue with Mourinho's comments about United's defenders.
The former Chelsea boss effectively said that his side didn't string any patterns of play together during the match because their central defenders are not of the required standard to build from the back.
