The draw is United's third in a row in the Premier League, following 1-1 results with West Ham and Arsenal at Old Trafford.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho said: "We were the best team by far, but we didn't win. We had chances for 2-0, we hit the post, then we conceded a goal in the last minute.

"We are playing extremely well, even in difficult matches like this, and not getting the results we deserve."

Asked if he was concerned by the amount of draws, Mourinho said: "Concerned because we don't get the results we deserve. When my teams win matches playing a different style of football then what matters is the style of football, not the results.

"You have teams in the Premier League playing defensive and counter attack football and getting results. That is phenomenal in your words. When my teams are playing extremely well the results are more important.

"I am happy my team is playing really well even in difficult matches. It is a problem we are not getting what we deserve and we have a position in the table that has no relation to the quality we are showing."
