'Mourinho always plays to win' - Gudjohnsen refutes claims Man Utd boss is defensive

The former Chelsea striker has worked with the Portuguese in the past and insists that it is never his intention to simply play for a point

Jose Mourinho is a winner and talk of defensive methods and parking the bus at Manchester United have left Eidur Gudjohnsen bemused.

Despite leading the Red Devils to three trophies in his first season at the helm and forcing them into Premier League title contention this term, the Portuguese continues to face criticism.

He has been accused of being too conservative in big games, with a 0-0 draw at Liverpool in October held up as a perfect example of that mindset.
