Manchester derby mourinho gets date explain comments

You're referring to the infamous Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City on April 24, 2018, where Jose Mourinho's comments sparked controversy!

For those who may not know, Mourinho, the then-Manchester United manager, made some comments after the match that were perceived as inflammatory and divisive. Here's what happened:

Manchester City won the match 3-2, with Sergio Aguero scoring a dramatic winner in the 91st minute. After the match, Mourinho was asked about the performance of Manchester City's players, particularly Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho. Mourinho responded by saying:

"I think the referee was very good, but I think the referee was also very, very good for Manchester City. I think the referee was very, very good for the team that was playing with 10 men for 20 minutes. I think the referee was very, very good for the team that was playing with a player who was not even a player, Fernandinho, playing in a position that is not his position."

Mourinho's comments were seen as a veiled attack on the referee, Michael Oliver, and Manchester City's players. Many interpreted his words as suggesting that the referee was biased towards Manchester City and that Fernandinho was not a legitimate player in his position.

The comments sparked a heated debate, with many Manchester City fans and pundits accusing Mourinho of being petty and trying to deflect attention from his team's poor performance. Manchester City's manager at the time, Pep Guardiola, also responded to Mourinho's comments, saying that he didn't understand why Mourinho was making such accusations.

The incident highlighted the intense rivalry between the two Manchester clubs and the often-contentious nature of their matches.
