Mourinho's 'non-play' at Man Utd stuns Juventus legend Lippi

The Red Devils boss has been accused of making little effort to claim the scalp of the Serie A title holders during a crunch Champions League clash

Jose Mourinho has been accused of “non-play” during Manchester United’s Champions League clash with Juventus, with Marcello Lippi left bemused by his methods.

The Red Devils boss sent his side into European battle on Tuesday hoping to claim the notable scalp of an Italian heavyweight boasting former Old Trafford favourite Cristiano Ronaldo on its books.

United, though, never looked like troubling the Serie A title holders, with a 1-0 victory for the Bianconeri courtesy of Paulo Dybala’s early strike rather flattering the out-of-sorts hosts.
