Jose Mourinho: Never mind the result against Stoke, admire Man United's performance

It was a typically defiant, almost perverse, analysis from the charismatic United leader, especially as he had seen his team defeat reigning champions Leicester by scoring four goals as recently as last weekend.
But after Anthony Martial’s opener was cancelled out by Joe Allen, via a rare mistake from United keeper David de Gea, Mourinho was certainly in the mood to accentuate the positives rather than critique the negatives - specifically, the host of glaring misses.
