Classy Jose Mourinho may have been down, frustrated and angry - but the Manchester United boss still paid Burnley a remarkable post-match tribute.

The Portuguese had been dismissed to the stands by referee Mark Clattenburg, seen midfielder Ander Herrera also controversially sent off and saw his Reds side unable to score despite racking up 37 shots on target.

But it was brilliant Burnley's defensive show that was recognised by Mourinho.

After the 0-0 Old Trafford stalemate Mourinho went into the away dressing room to congratulate and shake hands with every single one of a Burnley team who had just struck a hammer blow to the Reds' Premier League title hopes as well Clarets manager Sean Dyche.

It was an impressive gesture by the United coach considering the disappointment he suffered in a frenzied afternoon that saw United slip to eighth place and eight points off joint leaders City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
