The victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup semi-finals 2017-2018 became one of the reasons.
Manchester United stepped into the FA Cup final after a 2-1 win over Tottenham at Wembley Stadium. Two goals of The Reds Devils printed Alexis Sanchez and Ander Herrera.
Mourinho feels Manchester United deserved to step into the final. The Portuguese manager also claimed his team did not deserve so much criticism if they saw their achievements so far.
"We are entitled to this, if we divide this season into periods, we are the best team for some of that period, even when they have the ball when we win, we keep control of the game," Mourinho said.
"We have to ask ourselves why there is too much criticism against us, we can finish the Premier League in second place by earning six points."
"To do that with all the fantastic teams we are facing, it will be a fantastic achievement for a club that has not been achieved in the last few seasons and this will be our fourth final in the last three years so maybe too much criticism. Mourinho.Source: BBC
