Manager Jose Mourinho says that he has been pleased with the reaction of his players to the Champions League defeat to Sevilla in midweek.

Manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that he and his first-team squad have been on the "same page" after the Champions League defeat to Sevilla.

On Tuesday night, the Spanish outfit recorded a surprise victory at Old Trafford to eliminate United from the competition at the last-16 stage, and Mourinho and his players have been criticised for their performance.

However, Mourinho has claimed that he has been left happy with the reaction of his players since the setback in Europe, with Brighton & Hove Albion coming up in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday evening.

At a press conference, the 55-year-old told reporters: "I'm happy with what I saw in my players after the match, I'm happy that people were sad, that people were frustrated.

"I'm happy we were on exactly the same page, and happy to see the boys coming back again in my page because we don't have many days to be sad, we don't have many days to be, something like, grieve, we don't have many days for that, so I'm happy the players come back exactly as myself.

"We train very well, always. We don't need a reaction to train better, the enthusiasm, organisation, every training session with us since day one the players know that."

Mourinho has said that he remains unfazed by the boos which were heard at the full-time whistle on Tuesday evening.
