Jose Mourinho lost his composure on Sunday as he snapped at a female television reporter following Manchester United's defeat at Brighton.
This browser does not support the video element.
Goals from Glenn Murray, Shane Duffy and Pascal Gross condemned United to a 3-2 loss at the Amex Stadium to heap further pressure on the Portuguese boss.
And the strain clearly got to him during a routine interview with beIN Sport reporter Carrie Brown after the full-time whistle.
Mourinho gave short shrift to the first question put to him about how the game had gone, surmising: 'We made mistakes, and we were punished by the mistakes.'
Brown attempted to ask about the level of cohesiveness between his players, asking if it was a fair assessment to suggest the squad was struggling for communication and chemistry on the pitch.
The United boss clearly took issue with the question, answering back sarcastically: 'You must be fantastic in your job to have the ability to speak about chemistry between players.'
Clearly taken aback by the attitude shown, Brown regained her composure to ask a final question, only to once again be met with the same short answer given for the first.
Mourinho has endured a fraught summer at Old Trafford, with his relationship with players and the boardroom clearly strained.
Last week, he was forced to reply to reports that his relationship with captain Paul Pogba was at an all-time low, something he vehemently denied.
Mourinho has not been afraid to criticise United's transfer business this summer, something that has upset those upstairs at Old Trafford, chief among them CEO Ed Woodward.
He was in the stands at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, cutting a gloomy figure as he watched the side fall to their first defeat of the new campaign.

So who were we expecting to be in the game and he didn't play,Sanchez,Herrera,matic,Valencia are all injured,so with the squad at his disposal who didn't play,or were we expecting Jose himself to pick boot and enter to also play or Carrick that we were thinking of him playing.All the players that were available were used yet we lost and now some of us who don't know football are blaming mourinho,why.someone should tell me the squad he would have use if he were to be jose

Well let alone the Manager...I have a question for you all! What does your employer expect from You? Did you agree on a salary for the job you would be doing and what if you want do what you agreed to do? Same goes to our fellow Manchester United players and we should stop there! Paul Pogba was nothing less than an ordinary player, no passion, no drive, leadership and only sulking every time he loses the ball and he has the guts to blame his fellow teammates for his short comings. They earned too much money these days and it goes for their heads. We should not be begging them to play football. I won't go far, I miss Wayne Rooney, would he has been there we would have been at par with Brighton yesterday if not winning it. Who has it like Roy Keane or any of our old Manchester United player....None...Sad is the word😔

People will keep making him the scapegoat then once he leaves, United will become a mid table club. Let's be real, the United squad under any manager would be able to at least beat Brighton. The reason they lost is cos the players are not playing for the club but for money. Too many luxury players who play with half arsed effort but get a pass cos mourinho is apparently the only one to blame.

All African man utd fc fans are highly disappointed with Mourinho"s pattern of play. We are also confused about his new contract signing. I feel the management or board of trustee is under myopic condition. They need to consult a prophet who will tell them that Mourinho is never a coach and cannot be , but a gambler,who when he tries and luckily succeed puffs up himself. We need a manager who knows how to manage what he has, rather than demanding already made material in which if he gets, will still run confused with. If the management board can meet with Zinden Zinda and ask him to take over now, the earlier the better. If not man utd fc shall suffer relegation this season. Read the history of Mourinho for past decade now, he has never stay in a club more than three seasons. Finally, a stitch in time saves thread

mourinhno just shortly forget his statement that money can buy talents,you have a group of promising players and mature ones in the squad and you are failing to manage them properly,you have to respect and motivate your players to get out of them,every team have their bad moment you have to accept that.

Moanerhino a manager/coach?? Joker only knows one way to work- spends lots of money.Won' t sell even players he doesn't want to direct opponents but expects those same opponents to sell their best players to him.Easy!weaken the opposition whilst strengthening your own team.He has a point about Kevin Friend though;he only allowed five and a half minutes of added time.Fergie time was always" until M Utd.score at least the equaliser if not the winner.😂🤣😃
