Jose Mourinho confused by criticism he has faced since Manchester United's Champions League exit: 'People with a brain and common sense (know) we are in transition'

Jose Mourinho claims he cannot understand the criticism he has faced in the wake of Manchester United's Champions League defeat by Sevilla.

United were dumped out at the last-16 stage after they were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford by the La Liga outfit earlier this month.

In the wake of the defeat, Mourinho was criticised for his side's lack of ambition – particularly given the £300million he has splashed on attacking players such as Romelu Lukaku.

But the United boss says people with 'a brain' and 'common sense' appreciate his side are in a period of transition.
