Chelsea v Man Utd: Jose Mourinho tells Blues fans 'Judas is still number one'
Last updated on .From the section Football
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho told Chelsea fans "I'm still number one" after being heckled during his side's FA Cup loss at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho, sacked twice by Chelsea, was called 'Judas' by fans during United's 1-0 defeat, responding by pointing three fingers in reference to the three league titles he won with the club.
He said: "Until the moment they have a manager that wins four Premier Leagues for them, I'm the number one.
"Until then, Judas is number one."

N'Golo Kante's low shot was enough for Chelsea to beat holders United - who had Ander Herrera sent off in the first half - and set up a semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley.
Mourinho, 54, is Chelsea's most successful manager after winning titles over two spells in 2005, 2006 and 2015.
He said: "They can call me what they want. I am a professional. I defend my club.
"I'm really proud of my players, I'm really proud of Manchester United fans."
Mourinho would not discuss the Herrera red card, calling referee Michael Oliver "a referee with fantastic potential".
He said: "I don't want to go in that direction. In four matches he [Oliver] has given three penalties and a red card. I cannot change that. I shook his hand and said many congratulations.
"Mr Oliver goes home and he can do his own analysis, because I don't want to analyse his work."
Mourinho's Blues counterpart Antonio Conte accused United of targeting Hazard during the match.
Last night's Chelsea v Man Utd FA Cup quarter final game had a peak TV audience of 7.7m - the highest of the season so far. A further 1.1m also watched live online on the BBC Sport website.

Yes, every club has its fair share of idiotic fans who would do well to gain something resembling a basic-level education.
Perhaps the gloating Chelsea fans might celebrate the real truth, their players were the real Judases last season.
A real bonus that they get a virtually injury ride so far, and a present of a sending off to aid their cup run.
Jose just works for another big club. Hardly treachery as he was sacked. You don't get this misplaced.sense of paranoia in other walks of life. Football is spoiled by money and base, blind tribal loyalties that sets fan against fan and those that did a great job for them
Because he never was in his previous incarnations at all....He has always been a nauseating narcissist.
Yes, he's been sacked by Chelsea and Real Madrid, but so has Carlo Ancelotti. Does that make him a bad manager as well? (Only manager to win 3 CL titles with different teams.)
Bitter, Bitter people...
Mourinho wants to earn a living to support his family, so he wants another job if a football team wants Mourinho to manage that team then so be it,
chelsea fans should be applauding him infact calling for a statue to be made not calling him a judas.
