Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has hit out at critics who label him as a defensive manager.

Mourinho guided Tottenham to an emphatic 6-1 victory over his former club Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, with that win following on from the 7-2 thrashing of Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League.
