Jose Mourinho accepted the Manchester United fans' criticism of Marouane Fellaini as
the midfielder was booed when he was sent on as a late
substitute in the 1-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Fellaini gave away a sloppy penalty that led to former club
Everton's equaliser in a 1-1 draw in United's previous
Premier League game last weekend and remains a divisise
figure among the club's supporters due to his inconsistent
form since leaving Goodison Park.
And the Old Trafford faithful made their feelings known
when Fellaini was sent on against Spurs in the 97th minute
and when he warmed up on the touchline.
Mourinho said of Fellaini's poor reception: "I accept it,
because from the fans you have to accept everything, and
especially from fans who are giving everything to us but
are not getting anything from us.
"They get commitment and performance but they don't get
results. I think the point was that they had in their minds
the mistake Marouane did at Everton.
"Marouane is a player that I like, and a person that I like."
