Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Manchester United after their six-goal win at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Spurs completely dominated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who went down to 10-men when Anthony Martial struck Erik Lamela in the first-half.

And after the match, Mourihno was quick to point out how United have been rewarded by VAR in recent weeks.

"I didn't watch it. Maybe later I will. If someone can cry about the VAR decisions it is Tottenham and if someone cannot cry about VAR it is Manchester United for sure," he told Sky Sports .

"I don't know, the only thing I know is we played extremely well. I told my players that a good result here would be to win and we did that."

On the win, Mourinho added: "Manchester United doesn't lose many matches, [and] to lose by six is of course not every day," he added.

"[It's a] historical victory but in the end [it's] three points and three very important points because we lost five points at home.

"We prepared ourselves very well tactically and also psychologically, the team was ready. So ready that a penalty in the first minute and going 1-0 down did not affect the team at all.

"Some people can say you play against 10 men for a long time which is true but for me it is also true that 11 v 11 we were playing extremely well, we were creating huge problems, we were winning 2-1 and they could not find solutions to control us."
