United incapable of living with Liverpool, laments Mourinho

Beleaguered boss lauds leader's technical, physical superiority after Anfield humbling

LIVERPOOL - Jose Mourinho hinted Manchester United's players are simply not good enough to compete with Liverpool after being brushed aside 3-1 at Anfield on Sunday by the Premier League leader.

Mourinho claimed ahead of the game that Liverpool has had luck on its side this season, but while there was fortune in substitute Xherdan Shaqiri's two deflected strikes in the final 17 minutes, the visitor did not deserve anything more than a fifth league defeat of the season.
