London: Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho took a sarcastic swipe at Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp after his side booked their place in the League Cup final.

A day after Liverpool had been bundled out of the competition by Southampton, United progressed with a 3-2 aggregate win over Hull City despite losing 2-1 in Thursday’s second leg.

Klopp said the wind had made conditions difficult in Liverpool’s 1-0 loss to Southampton on Wednesday and Mourinho made remark when he was asked if United were the favourites. “I don’t think we are favourites,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where we play, against who, we are never favourites. Normally the stadium is windy and it’s difficult,” added Jose.
