isiting manager Louis van Gaal said it was his side's "best display of the season" but Mourinho insists it was part of the game plan.

"It was difficult, but less than you think," he said. "Control their direct football to Marouane Fellaini and control the wingers from making crosses on the inside foot.

"When we know Wayne Rooney plays in midfield, we control his progression into the box. Control set-pieces and don't give away direct free-kicks as they have three specialists.

"Wait for a mistake and score a goal. We were able to make their important players disappear. Nobody saw them. They were in our pockets."

^ I agree that they haven't had the goods in the final third but that's because all Chelsea do is sit back. Nothing wrong with it obviously because they find a way to win games but United are the better team today but are losing because of a non-call and poor finish.

It was not a missed call, look at it again, terry gets his toe on the ball. It was a hard challenge, but a clean one.

Actually it was a foul. look at his initial contact. It's not with the ball it's with Falcaos neck and back. He literally pushes through with his forearm to Falcaos neck.

After making contact from behind he sticks his toe through his legs and taps the ball. It's a foul. It obviously doesn't matter now but the ref did miss this call.

it's not that it's two clubs, but two clubs as big as they are.

In my opinion, to call yourself a fan of a team you can only support one team in a continent.

You can be sympathetic to the causes of a club who's football you enjoy, but to say you support both teams seems treasonous to me.

Agreed, you can support one team and follow others, but your heart can only lie within one major European team
