Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has revealed what the club’s goalkeeper David De Gea said after their 3-1 loss to Liverpool on Sunday.
Jesse Lingaard’s effort canceled out a Sadio Mane Opener. However the introduction of Shaqiri changed the game for Liverpool has his two strikes were deflected into United’s goal beating De Gea.
According to Mourinho, De Gea is claiming that he would have easily saved both of Shaqiri’s shots if they had not been deflected.
‘Liverpool are the strong team, but it’s hard to concede two goals in the moment we conceded and the way the goals happened,’ Mourinho told Sky Sports.
‘Our difficult moment was the first 20 minutes. We couldn’t cope with their fantastic intensity and pressing, but then we were quite calm and it was controlled.
‘They became really frustrated when their centre-backs came forwards and fired shots into the stands – that was the period when it was more in control.
‘We felt we could win, even a little bit undeservedly.
‘David is saying in the dressing room two easy balls for him, and because of the rebounds [deflections] he had no chance.
‘If you want to speak about fortunate you speak their second and third goals.’
