Jose Mourinho wants the focus shifted towards Tottenham’s results (Getty Images)

Jose Mourinho has urged the media to ‘start bothering’ Tottenham instead of Manchester United.

After beating United at Old Trafford last month, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have suffered back-to-back defeats to Watford and Liverpool.

United, meanwhile, have registered victories over Burnley and Watford which has dampened speculation surrounding Mourinho’s future.

The Portuguese demanded ‘respect’ from the media after he was criticised following the loss to Spurs.

And now the United manager believes the press need to focus on Spurs’ poor run of form to ensure fair coverage.

‘Tottenham have now lost two straight,’ Mourinho told RedeTV after United’s win over Watford.

‘If there is equality of treatment, if there is equality in the way of looking and reporting, they will leave us and will start bothering others.’
