The Red Devils boss referred to pages of notes as he hit back at his critics following their elimination from the Champions League
Jose Mourinho insists he will not "run away or disappear" from his responsibilities after launching an impassioned defence of his Manchester United tenure.
The Portuguese has faced severe criticism over his tactics in the wake of United's dismal Champions League last-16 exit to Sevilla on Tuesday.
Mourinho was particularly panned for the defensive mindset the Red Devils set up with in the 2-1 defeat, as Wissam Ben Yedder's double put the tie beyond United, and his comments that it is not a new situation for the club
attracted further scrutiny.
But, armed with a collection of notes that he referred to, Mourinho delivered an emotional 12-minute diatribe fighting back against his critics in his latest media conference, pointing to United's recent history and that of Manchester City to explain his team's recent struggles.
"I say to the fans that the fans are the fans and have the right to their opinions and reactions. But there is something that I used to call football heritage," he said.

Mourinho should be fired if you ask me. Man Utd spent hundreds of millions of pounds on this team plus their astronomical wages. He has all those great offensive players and yet he is still "parking the bus" . Look at what Giardiola's attacking philosophy can do with great offensive talent. City has some better players, true, but it' s not that big of a differebce talentwise.
But hopefully Mou stays cause I don't like United anyway.
