Mourinho pins blame on Luke Shaw after Manchester United defeatSeptember 19, 2016 - 13:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Jose Mourinho pinned the blame on Luke Shaw as Manchester United crashed to their third straight defeat, the Mirror said. The Old Trafford boss was fuming at ref Michael Oliver for failing to penalise a Miguel Britos tackle on Anthony Martial in the build-up to Etienne Capoue’s opener – claiming refs were at fault for losses against Manchester City, Feyenoord and now Watford. But Mourinho also hit out at England left-back Shaw for his inability to close down Nordin Amrabat before Juan Camilo Zuniga’s decisive 83rd-minute strike. Mourinho admitted United had also failed to close down City’s Aleksandar Kolarov before City’s opening goal in the Manchester derby. He said: “The first Man City goal and this second goal against Watford - you can find an incredible similarity, which is Kolarov has the ball in a difficult situation in the corner and my players, instead of going up to press they decide to give space. “And here for the second goal, Amrabat receives the ball and our left-back is 25 metres from him instead of five metres. But even at 25 metres, you have to jump and go and press, but no, we wait. “This is a tactical but also a mental attitude. It’s something that doesn’t become perfect in a couple of weeks.” Top stories Armenian gymnast, Olympic bronze medalist Artur Davtyan has reached the finals of the World Cup.
