Jose Mourinho aims dig at Manchester City and Pep Guardiola as he says his Manchester United side 'lose with dignity, behaving as a big team' after rivals' acrimonious FA Cup exit

Fabian Delph was shown a straight red card for a first-half challenge, manager Pep Guardiola clashed with Wigan boss Paul Cook, and Sergio Aguero was involved in an altercation with home fans at the final whistle.
