Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho hits out at 'man-hunting' after Newcastle win

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho criticised "man-hunting" and "wickedness" against him and his team and said young players such as Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay were struggling to deal with the pressure.

Mourinho was speaking after United came from 2-0 down at half-time against Newcastle to win 3-2 thanks to Alexis Sanchez's 90th-minute header.

United were woeful in the first half and were two down inside 10 minutes, but looked a completely different team after the interval as Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Sanchez turned the game on its head in the final 20 minutes.

"This is the first time I've seen in football man-hunting," Mourinho told BT Sport.
