The Portuguese manager praised Son Heung-Min scoring his 100th goal for Tottenham against Leeds United before suddenly reverting to penalties.
He took a sly dig at Bruno’s penalty record, trying to undervalue his contribution at United.
When asked about his thoughts on Son Heung-Min scoring his 100th goal for Tottenham Hotspur in their win over Leeds United, Jose Mourinho said: “I’m very happy for him, I’m very happy that now people realise the player he is.
“I think we all have to explain to people the person he is, too. To get the Puskas award, to be scoring 100 goals for Tottenham and to be maybe in the top three Premier League scorers without penalties.
“Some players score 10 goals a season on penalties and I’m not speaking about Harry Kane, by the way. I’m so happy for Son.”
Well, Mourinho clearly took a dig at Bruno Fernandes with that comment and this isn’t the first time he’s taken a swipe at the Man United star’s penalty record.

The Tottenham boss is clearly bitter about the exceptional work Bruno is doing to help United outperform his side, and the Portuguese magnifico is not the one to get rattled by Jose’s comments.
Moreover, it’s quite clear by now that Bruno is more than just a penalty specialist, with the midfielder topping the creative and goal involvement charts in the Premier League this season.

He is just jealous . Not happy to see Man United doing better. Probably haven’t been sleeping well.
Jose is clearly not happy that a team he beat 6:1 not too long ago is outperforming his team. The same Jose said that he was for three points a game no matter how he gets the points. I think United have taken his cue better than his team. Sour graping indeed.
Who cares about Mourinho’s utterances? perhaps penalty is no longer part of football game.
Bruno is a world class player whether Mourinho likes or not.
Who cares wot Mourinho thinks about him what ,
