Jose Mourinho was delighted with Manchester Uniteds first half display against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night and told his players they were in total control at half-time.
The Red Devils were unlucky not to take the lead at Old Trafford, though their first-half endeavour was undone by goals from Harry Kane and Lucas Moura in a clinical second half from the visitors.
Defender Luke Shaw couldnt quite understand how United managed to let their performance level slip so much in the second half, with Mourinho full of praise at half-time.
You look at the first half, we were outstanding, he told MUTV. We had a lot of chances to put the game to bed. If we score, its game over.
Second half, we spoke inside, Jose said they havent had one corner, one cross, one dangerous opportunity.

Actually to be fair they did, a couple of times we made mistakes in the first half. But no corners, no crosses, nothing.
But first corner they get comes the goal. Even then maybe we should have been relaxed, its only one goal, we still had time.
But then comes another mistake, another silly, stupid goal. We were so on top, so its really disappointing.
Everyone in the dressing room is really sad, especially after the first half we had. Big thank you to the fans for the way they supported us, even when we were down 3-0 they were amazing.
