And there we were thinking that Liverpool were the last wonder of the world.
Jose Mourinho was in bullish form at the end of the Manchester United’s scoreless draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Monday night, insisting the Reds are ‘not the last wonder of the world.’
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been touted as title contenders after a start to the season that has seen them beat Arsenal, champions Leicester City and Chelsea but Mourinho doesn’t seem to think they’re all they’re cracked up to be.
“I think it was a more difficult game for them than it was for us,” Mourinho told Sky Sports 1 after a lifeless encounter that Liverpool still could have won had it not been for two fine saves by David de Gea and Antonio Valencia’s stunning last-ditch tackle on Roberto Firmino.
“We knew it would be very difficult for them to score a goal and thought we’d score a goal to win the match, which we tried to do.
“We tried to start strong in both halves but they are a good team.
“They are not the last wonder of the world like you (the media) say they are but they are a very good team so we had to adapt a little to them.”
