Jose Mourinho questioned Manchester United's supporters after suggesting that Old Trafford was too quiet during Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Leicester City. United are top of the table after substitutes Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini scored in the final 20 minutes against stubborn opponents.
