Jose Mourinho has said his Manchester United team are “better than people say.”
“We have very good matches and we have very good periods of matches,” he told a news conference on Friday.
“Sometimes the media are a bit unfair with all of us, with myself, with the players. We are better than you say.”
United had to fight back from 1-0 down to beat Chelsea.
However, Mourinho has warned his players they will not have it all their own way.
“Against Chelsea, we had a very good second half,” he said. “But it’s a quality to know how to play against teams who at certain moments are better than you.
“And Chelsea were better than us; for 20 minutes, for half-an-hour, they were better than us.
“It’s important to know how to play when the opponent is better than you. I always say to my players, even in matches where we are dominant, and we are the best team, there will always be, normally, a period in the match where the opponent reacts and where the opponent is better than you.
“And you have to know how to play in these moments.”
