United boss Jose Mourinho has opened up about his celebration after his side beat Spurs 1-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Portuguese turned to TV cameras and gave a shush gesture at full time, but many speculated that it was aimed towards the Spurs bench, something he denies.

“Some people speak too much; calm down, relax a little bit,” Mourinho said.

“Don’t speak too much; speak, speak, speak. Relax. Relax a little bit, don’t be so nervous. Don’t be so excited.

“No [it was not directed at the opposition bench]. They did their job – super correct – and we have yet to arrive in a match where myself, Mauricio, my staff and his staff have a problem.

“We played against each other so many times since Spain, and we have a really good relation, [whether] we lost, or we win. I don’t know if we draw, but we are always correct with each other.”

Mourinho’s men won the game after substitute Anthony Martial scored late on to overcome the North London side’s gridlock. It was a great result for United when you consider their poor league form of late, and the boss spoke of his delight about his players’ performances.

“Once more I’m even happier because we beat a very good team. I like the team very, very much,” he said.

“I like a lot of [our] performance, independent of the result. If the result is 0-0 or 1-1, my feelings with the players and the team would be the same because they gave absolutely everything.

“Every ball was like the most important ball of their career, the concentration and focus was there, and we cannot forget the quality of the team we were playing against.”
