Manchester United manager has blasted England defender Harry Maguire despite the win against Colombia during the second round clash in the World Cup.
Maguire went down so easily with minimal contact at the Spartak Stadium and he also harassed the referee for VAR when Jordan Henderson was head-butted.
Mourinho was not pleased with the conduct of Leicester City defender.
Neymar was also condemned after theatrically exaggerated a foul to get a Mexican player sent off during their second-round clash that ended in 2-0 in favour of Brazil.
And Mourinho was critical of both players, "People are focusing on Neymar, but if it was only Neymar, I'd be happy, but it's not only Neymar," he told Russia Today.
"Every team has lots of diving, lots of pretending, lots of putting pressure on the referee.
"It's not about England and Colombia, it's almost every match.
“I was surprised to see central defenders like Harry Maguire, normally he is a very honest guy, diving in the attacking box, asking the referee for VAR
"The players should feel the responsibility of playing in the World Cup in front of billions of spectators."
England advanced on a penalty shoot-out after the match ended 1-1 after the 90 minutes and extra time.
