Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho slams his side's display against Fenerbahce: 'They were playing a Champions League final and we were playing a summer friendly'

After Jose Mourinho saw his side slip to their latest disappointing defeat, the Manchester United boss did not hold back in criticising his players, saying it looked like they were playing a 'summer friendly'.

Moussa Sow's brilliant overhead kick saw the shell-shocked visitors trailing inside two minutes at an intimidating Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, before Jeremain Lens' unstoppable free-kick just before the hour put Fenerbache 2-0 up.

United pulled a goal back late on with a fine Wayne Rooney strike but could not find an equaliser as they slipped to third in Group A.
