Mourinho Takes Remarkable Dig at Man Utd & Claims Club 'Need Better Players' After Sevilla Defeat

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admitted he "needs to sign better players" after seeing his side crash out of the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday night, but also took a remarkable swipe at his own club in the press room following defeat to Sevilla.

A quick-fire second half double from substitute Wissam Ben Yedder ensured Sevilla beat United 2-1 at Old Trafford, despite Romelu Lukaku's late effort giving the Reds some hope. The two teams had drawn 0-0 in the first leg in Seville, and Tuesday's visitors capitalised on an uneasy atmosphere in Manchester to embarrassingly send United out.
