Jose Mourinho apologised to Manchester United fans in the Stretford End after the humiliation at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The Portuguese used his programme notes ahead of the EFL Cup clash against Manchester City on Wednesday to issue an apology for the weekend's result.
After winning their City rivals 1-0 in the Cup tie, Mourinho gestured 4-0 with his hands before offering his hands in apology.
"As the leader of this squad I want to start by saying sorry to all the Manchester United fans around the world," he wrote.
"Sunday's 4-0 defeat at Chelsea was not a United result; it was a result which made us all extremely sorry for all our supporters and we all apologise for it."
The 53-year old added, "Once again at Stamford Bridge our fans were sensational.
"It (the result) has made us all extremely sorry for all our supporters and we all apologise for it." Manchester United hosts West Ham in the last eight of the EFL Cup.
"I cannot think of another set of supporters who would be singing for 90 minutes like that when their team was losing.
"They were a credit to the club and feel so sorry for them that the result could not match their performance.
Manchester United will host West Ham in the last eight of the EFL Cup.
