Jose Mourinho made one fatal error after Manchester derby - Ian Wright
GETTY Jose Mourinho was caught up in the middle of the brawl inside the tunnel
That’s according to Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who claims the United boss missed a trick to inspire his team for the next Manchester derby. The match at Old Trafford on Sunday descended into chaos after the final whistle as both sets of players and staff became embroiled in a heated confrontation. It reportedly began as Mourinho took umbrage to City’s overzealous celebrations and approached their dressing room which sparked an argument with Ederson. City assistant coach Mikel Arteta was left with a cut on his face and the two sides had to be separated by stewards and police.

I am surprised at the way Jose Mourinho reacted Ian Wright
The FA are currently investigating the incident with both clubs having until 6pm tomorrow to provide their account of what happened. But Wright believes Mourinho should have used City’s celebrations to their advantage by using it to inspire his players the next time they meet Pep Guardiola’s side. “I am surprised at the way Jose Mourinho reacted when the “noisy neighbours” got a whole lot louder after their latest victory at Old Trafford,” Wright told The Sun.
