Jose Mourinho has commented about Mings’ stamp on Manchester United forward Ibrahimovic, claiming he doesn’t care if the Bournemouth man is banned.
Speaking on the incident, Jose Mourinho was reluctant to give his opinion on the incident although conceded United failed to make the most of the one man advantage they had for the second half.
“The referee was there; if you ask me if I’m going to be happy if Mings gets a four or five-game ban, I really don’t care about it. He knows what he did better than anyone, better than the referee the intention or the emotion of the moment. The referee made two important decisions which were right – two penalties, no doubt about it. If we didn’t win it was because Boruc made an amazing performance. We were not lucky, we were not good enough to materialise goals with the dominance we had.
If we score one goal, we are winning. To play against one man less is always a big advantage. When you play against a team with a good result in the pocket, they close the door. The wingers don’t attack, they defend. The midfielders don’t push up to attack, they stay in low block. We had so many chances in the second half to score, it’s not about one less man – it’s about us missing so many chances.”
