Mourinho unhappy despite Rooney’s United record

Wayne Rooney stole the headlines with his record goal for Manchester United but boss Jose Mourinho was far from happy to take just a point away from the Bet365 Stadium.

England and United’s record goalscorer hit a stunning free-kick in injury time to rescue a point for the Red Devils after Juan Mata’s own goal had given Stoke City the lead.

The result leaves United sixth in the Premier League, two points behind their Manchester rivals who also drew, but Mourinho felt his side had dropped two points rather than gained one.

“Of course I am disappointed,” he said. “We were very dominant. It would be a football crime if we lost the game. But I’m not happy because I keep not understanding how we miss so many chances every game.

“Again I say many times, a draw is a good result when the opponent is better than you and a draw is a good result when you are being dominated (by the opponent) and in the end you manage to leave with that point.

“But when you are the team that chases the result, the team that creates the chances, the team that misses the chances and on top of that you score only an own goal, then obviously I cannot be happy with a point.”
