Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed what he told his players at halftime in the remarkable comeback against Newcastle United over the weekend.
Manchester United went into the halftime break trailing 2-0 courtesy of goals from Kennedy and Yoshinori Muto. Jose Mourinho’s pep talk at halftime worked wonders as his charges came back into the second half firing from all cylinders to come back aided by goals from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial, and Alexis Sanchez.
Speaking to MUTV, Mourinho revealed his halftime talk at halftime, “In half-time, we opened our hearts. And we spoke about tactical changes for two minutes and we spoke for eight minutes about other things that I thought, ‘let the players a little bit more free to face the second-half’ and then 3-2. Amazing.”
Mourinho admitted that the team is going through a difficult time, “But if it was 2-2 the feeling would be the same. Always when the team is living difficult moments it is not easy for anyone and to score the winning goal and to come to the game with the result and to be important in the changing I think is a great feeling for the boy.”
