Jose Mourinho: Chelsea did not deserve to win the FA Cup

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has stressed that his side were better team in the FA Cup final and Chelsea did not deserve to win the game based on their performance.

The Blues took a first-half lead after Eden Hazard scored from the penalty spot and they managed to hold onto their advantage for the remainder of the game to become the new FA Cup holders.

Speaking after the final, Mourinho congratulated his former club on the success but admitted that his team were the better outfit on the day, he told BBC Sport: "I congratulate them because they won but I don't think they deserved to win. I congratulated them.

"I am Manchester United manager and I have to be respectful, not just because they are my previous club but because they are the opponents today but I think we deserved to win."

United could not create any clear-cut chances during the first half of the game and although they managed to push forward more often in the second period, opportunities were few and far between to equalise.

The west London giants have now secured the eight FA Cup crown of their history and they are tied with Tottenham Hotspur in third place for the number of trophies won in the competition.
