Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has said that the fans can boo him if they liked.

He was reacting to the jeers that were heard when he substituted Marcus Rashford for Anthony Martial, who proved United’s match-winner in their 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday.

“They pay the ticket they can do what they want. They can boo a player that doesn’t deserve to be booed, they can boo a player who is working like an animal, even though the game is not going in his direction,” he said.

“They can boo – they pay their tickets, they can boo the manager.”

The Red Devils are second in the Premier League with 23 points, five behind city rivals, Manchester City.

They welcome Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday.
