Jose Mourinho's press conference bizarrely lasted just 11 seconds on Sunday

Jose Mourinho's press conference lasted just 11 seconds on Sunday as journalists put no questions to the Manchester United manager following the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Mourinho entered the room for his post-match press conference while many of the journalists at the ground were still in the press box to watch the players taking part in a lap of honour.

The press officer immediately asked if there were any questions, and after none were forthcoming, she then said: "No?"

Mourinho promptly added "Good, goodbye guys" and left, before the press officer said: "No questions? Thank you. We tried."

Just 11 seconds passed from the press officer requesting questions to Mourinho standing up to leave the press room.

Having seen the youngest United team in Premier League history wrap up the club's domestic season with the win, Mourinho left little time for post-match media commitments and did not appear for Sky Sports when requested.

The Portuguese spoke to United's in-house channel MUTV only very briefly following the game, saying: "Don't ask me too many things because now I am in a final. Let me go home, I am in a final now."

When then asked if he knew his team for the final in Stockholm, Mourinho replied: "I know, but let me go. I am in a final now."

Palace manager Sam Allardyce and United midfielder Michael Carrick did appear for their post-match broadcast interviews.
