And while Mourinho was disappointed with just a point against relegation-threatened Swansea, the United boss was pleased with his players' commitment.

"We will keep going until the end with this attitude. We fight. We don't lose many, that is the reality, but we will see what happens at the end of the season. 

"Zero criticism for my boys. Swansea were well organised and fresh. They played in total this season a maximum 40 matches."
