Mourinho lambastes 'childish' United following late collapse vs. Leicester

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was none too pleased with his team following a 2-2 draw with Leicester City on Saturday, labeling his players as "childish" for giving up a last-second goal to the 10-man opposition.

Harry Maguire got on the end of a long, looping ball sent in by Marc Albrighton and finished with a smart touch to secure a point, leaving Mourinho fuming after the final whistle.

"We didn't win because missed incredible chances. I would say joke chances," Mourinho told Sky Sports after the match, as quoted by BBC Sport.

"We made a big defensive accumulation of mistakes in an easy match to win. I talked to the players at half-time when it was 1-1 that it was an easy match to win.

"The reality is that it is 2-2. Sometimes you make mistakes and are not punished by that."

Mourinho added: "We were punished by our mistakes. It was an easy match to win, we did everything to win but when you lose big chances. Childish loss of possession, so easy. Childish in their box and childish in our box. We were punished in two points."

It was the second match in four days in which the Red Devils gave up points by conceding a late goal. The club lost 2-1 to Bristol City in the League Cup last Wednesday, with Korey Smith scoring in the 92nd minute to secure a shock victory.

Saturday's result has United sitting 13 points behind league-leading Manchester City in the Premier League table, which might be a mountain too high to climb in 2018:
