Speaking after Manchester United crashed out to Sevilla after losing the second leg 2-1, Mourinho made the bizarre claim as he defended the team against criticism.
Mourinho said: "I don't think the performance was bad.
"I've sat in this chair twice before with Porto, Manchester United out & Real Madrid, Manchester United out, so I don't think it's anything new for the club."
