Jose Mourinho to Chelsea fans: Until a manager wins four Premier League titles, Judas is No.1

1/34

Jose Mourinho has hit back at Chelsea's fans calling him "Judas", insisting he remains No.1 at Stamford Bridge until a manager trumps his Premier League title haul.

The Manchester United manager was targeted by sections of the home crowd throughout Monday night's 1-0 loss to Chelsea, to which Mourinho held up three fingers in response.

Conte maintained his 100 per cent record over Mourinho, having won 4-0 in the Premier League earlier in the season, as the league and cup double bid builds.

But Mourinho insists his position remains intact in the club's history until Conte wins four titles.

"They can call me what they want," Mourinho told reporters.

"Until the moment they have a manager that wins four Premier Leagues for them, I'm the number one.

"When they have somebody that wins four Premier Leagues for them, I become number two.

"Until this moment Judas is number one."

United started strongly, despite Chelsea bossing possession, until Ander Herrera was sent off for a second yellow card just after the half-hour mark.

Mourinho was pleased with United's performance before going down to 10 men, with the dismissal deciding the outcome of the game from then on.

"We all watch the game, we all have different perspectives but I think there was a match until the red card...

before that, I saw a game that I had the feeling we would win, because they were getting frustrated they couldn't play their game.

"Their centre-halves couldn't get on ball, were even kicking bad long balls up the pitch."
