Jose Mourinho has offered a withering analysis of Chelsea's home support by claiming the Stamford Bridge atmosphere in their weekend draw with Manchester United was the quietest during his time in the country.

Chelsea fans have turned on Mourinho a number of times since he was dismissed by the club in December 2015. Fans sardonically sang his name en masse as Chelsea cruised to a 4-0 win over United in October 2016 and a section of their support branded him 'Judas' in the March 2017 FA Cup quarter-final.

Mourinho responded to those jibes by holding up three fingers to signal the three Premier League titles he won with the club and patted the United crest in front of the away fans at full-time.

On Saturday, Chelsea coach Marco Ianni provoked Mourinho and sparked a melee after Ross Barkley's 96th-minute equaliser and Chelsea fans celebrated the 2-2 draw by chanting, 'F**k off Mourinho'. The United manager lifted three fingers up again.

In his programme notes ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League tie against Juventus, Mourinho - who was a regular critic of the Stamford Bridge atmosphere during his time in charge of Chelsea - derided the noise level again.

"Naturally it was disappointing and frustrating not to take three points from Saturday's visit to Stamford Bridge," Mourinho wrote. "We played so, so well that it was hard to take that we only got a draw. The boys were brilliant, we had control of the game and I have never heard Stamford Bridge so quiet in all my time in England.

"I am pleased that it was a good team performance and I am also pleased with the spirit of the team after going behind. We were very unlucky not to win but that's football and we have to accept that."

Before the game, Mourinho stressed he would 'respect' the Chelsea fans and stadium that he used to call his 'house'.

"For me is another game," Mourinho said on Friday. "Would I celebrate like crazy my team's goal at Stamford Bridge, or my team victory at Stamford Bridge? I don't think so.

"I think I would try to control myself and to respect the stadium and respect the supporters that were my supporters and my stadium for many years. To do that should be something I completely lost my emotional control, which is not easy.

"So I would think which stadium I am, which public is in the stands, but apart from that is another match for me, I want to do well for my team, for my players, for my supporters, I am 100% Manchester United tomorrow, no more space than respect for the stadium and the fans."
