Manchester United gaffer Jose Mourinho has reacted to his wards' elimination in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League where they crashed out in the round of 16 stage.
It was a serious embarrassment for all Manchester United fans on Tuesday night, March 13, as their team were beaten at home by Spanish side Sevilla.
United manager Jose Mourinho has now reacted to the defeat claiming that his team's elimination in the Champions League is not new in football.
"I don't want to make a drama out of our defeat against Sevilla, because that's football and it's not the end of the world.
"I sat on this chair twice in the Champions League and I knock out Manchester United at home at Old Trafford.
''I sat on this chair with Porto (in 2004), Man United out. I sat on this chair with Real Madrid, Man United out. I don't think it's something new for the club." Mourinho was quoted by Metro to have told reporters after the match.
