Jose Mourinho applauds Danny Graham’s opening goal as Manchester United go behind to Blackburn in the FA Cup
Rovers stunned United at Eawood Park and took the lead after some sharp shooting from the former Sunderland striker
JOSE MOURINHO did not hide his admiration for Blackburn's opening goal against Manchester United in the FA Cup.
Former Middlesbrough duo, Marvin Emnes and Danny Graham combined before the latter fired the ball off Sergio Romero's post and in.
Not only did this send the home fans wild, but also the Special One nodded his head in appreciation before applauding Graham's great finish.
Manchester United responded minutes before the hour mark, through Marcus Rashford after being slipped in wonderfully by Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
People on social media appreciated Mourinho's gesture to applaud Blackburn's goal.
BT Sports' pundits also praised the well-worked goal, with Paul Scholes criticising United's sloppy defence - calling out Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo.
The United legend said: "Rojo is the one who is trying to get closer but he gets bullied a bit and Chris Smalling is found ball watching.
"It's a great move and a bit of movement from Graham and when you watch it Rojo is not strong enough and Chris is just staring at the ball.
"He's not thinking about Graham and before he knows it Graham is in and finished it."
