'It is not about me' - Mourinho urges Man Utd fans to stop singing his name

Red Devils fans serenaded their manager after their comeback against Newcastle United, but the Portuguese wants them to back the players instead

Jose Mourinho has praised the Manchester United fans for their "magnificent" support but believes they should focus on cheering on the team, not him.

United fought back from 2-0 down to beat Newcastle United 3-2 on Saturday, with Alexis Sanchez scoring a 90th-minute winner in front of the Stretford End at Old Trafford.

The result will likely help to reduce some of the pressure on Mourinho, and the majority of the home fans sung the name of the under-fire manager after Sanchez had put them in front.
