Jose Mourinho's Man Utd produced a miraculous comeback against Man City on Saturday
That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley.
Manchester City needed three points to secure the Premier League title and first-half goals from Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan got them off to a perfect start.
However, Pep Guardiola’s side capitulated after the break and a brace from Paul Pogba and one from Chris Smalling turned the game on its head.
Burley says City should have been 5-0 up at half time if their makeshift striker Raheem Sterling had been in form in front of goal.
United fans must have been looking and thinking ‘we’ve got to get rid of this guy Mourinho because we are going nowhere’

And the Scot says United supporters would have been up in arms after seeing the first-half showing from their team.
“No real striker, Sterling played through the middle, missed some great chances,” Burley said.
“They did score two great goals City, they should have had the game wrapped up at half time.
“It should have been 5-0 because they were so dominant it was scary.
