The head coach of "Manchester United" Jose Mourinho, as after every match, shared his thoughts with MUTV journalists. Immediately, the Portuguese evaluated the victorious match against the "Southampton" team.
About the match
"I am very happy. We understand that we cannot play the entire 90 minutes the way we want. It is impossible to be so stable throughout the match. For the most part of the match, we played on the attack the way we want to play. In defense, we also looked solid because not 6, 7, or 8 players were defending, but all 10. It was a team victory, and I am satisfied with the performance of the boys."
About Paul Pogba
"He could have played even longer, even the whole extra time! He was phenomenal, organizing the game perfectly and seeing the field. Marouane Fellaini was also excellent. The wing players closed the spaces well. I am very satisfied with the team's organization. Everything related to Paul's individual actions was shining as well, but also, it was evident how he was trying to play according to the team's pattern. When I thought he lost stability and ball control in the middle, I brought in Ander Herrera to strengthen our defense."
About Zlatan's form
"Even if he doesn't score, his contribution is obvious because he cannot score goals every week. But the way he holds the ball, attracts defenders' attention, and provides stability to the team is very important, and I think he played very well today."
About the performance of the full-backs
Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia played very well attacking when they had to defend, and they executed that. They always help out defending and our wingers."
About fitting into Manchester
"I feel completely at home. I know I am not a very charming guy - I don't smile or wave a lot. But that is not in my nature, it is my natural behavior. As soon as I leave the dressing room, I focus and immerse myself in the match."
