Jose Mourinho wasn't keen on talking about the officiating mistakes which aided Manchester United in their 2-0 win at West Ham.
Referee Mike Dean wrongly dismissed the Hammers' Sofiane Feghouli in the first half before Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal was allowed to stand despite replays showing he was offside, the Manchester Evening News report.
United themselves have been on the end of some controversial decisions this season and Mourinho was instead interested in talking about his tactical decision to bring on Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford, who combined to score United's opener at the London Stadium.
"If you speak about the decisions, Manchester United are the champions of wrong decisions," Mourinho said in a broadcast interview.

When it was suggested at his press conference decisions were going United's way, Mourinho replied: "Which decisions? My decisions to play Mata at half-time and Rashford later? Thank you very much."
After a journalist interjected and specified it was the referee's decisions, Mourinho added: "No, not at all. When I play at home I have in my office every details, at half-time I can watch, after the match I watch immediately, I know immediately the Zlatan goal against Middlesbrough is a goal, I know it is a penalty on Rashford minute 76, I know immediately.
"But when I play away I don't have access to that so I cannot comment on that decision, I cannot comment also on Kouyate tackle on Mkhitaryan, I cannot comment."
