However, Mourinho refused to rule Man Utd out of the title race and insisted that the Red Devils will fifth until the end of the season.

“I said we play match after match and the next we have to try to win, we have a difficult one at West Brom and we try match after match,” said Mourinho, when asked if the title race is over.

“It is only over in May, if it is over now I go on holiday to Brazil or Los Angeles.”

When asked if there was a hangover after losing to Pep Guardiola’s men, Mourinho said: “Fatigue, yes, but hangover – no.

“The game was a big one, and a defeat does not help in your recovery – victories help, defeats don’t.

“They were difficult opponents and difficult conditions. If we had scored the second it would have been a calm night for us.”

Jose Mourinho slammed uneducated City for their celebrations.
