Mourinho admits Chelsea and Manchester United were not at their best

Jose Mourinho says Chelsea and Manchester United made too mistakes during a 0-0 draw to deserve any more than a point, Sky Sports reported. 

Mourinho admits he had been hoping for more from his team as an attacking force in their latest outing, but considers anything taken from a trip to United to be a positive.

He told Sky Sports: "I think the result is fair. I think nobody did enough to be better than the opponent.

"I think we controlled the game for most of the time. For a match at Old Trafford, we didn't have real problems.

"Our counter-attacks and passes, to go from defensive situations to attacking situations, was not the best. We had very creative players in attack, very fast players in attack, but the ball possession was not the best, we lost simple passes. There were a lot of mistakes. In those terms, we didn't give what we could or what we should.

"But I told the players before the game: 'We want to win, we play to win, but if we don't win, we don't lose'. I think the players understood this completely.

"In the last five or 10 minutes, when everyone was really tired, I think my players kept a more defensive position and we went for the point, which is always a good point."
