Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho expressed his frustration following his side’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

Juan Mata opening the scoring in the 69th minute as United looked to have earned United a much-needed win but an 89th-minute goal by Olivier Giroud was enough to earn his side a point at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese manager believes that a lack of luck has been the reason behind the Red Devils walking away with just a point against the Gunners.

‘Everybody knows that [the bad luck]. Not me, because I am Manchester United manager, not you because you are the Manchester United journalist, but I think everyone knows this,’ Mourinho told the Manchester United website.

Mourinho was full of praise for his players and he believes that his side should’ve scored more goals going forward with all the opportunities they created in the final third.

‘The boys, they played so well, so well. From the defensive point of view, they were perfect except the goal. We were perfect the way we controlled them, we were so good,’ he added.

‘David De Gea, not one save. We were dangerous, we scored, we should have scored more. We were very positive in our approach, very aggressive, pressing high, but we were very, very unlucky.’

Manchester United will now turn their attention to the Europe League when they welcome Feyenoord to Old Trafford on Thursday.

Kick-off has been set for 22:05.
