Manchester United's return to Champions League started on a positive note when they beat Basel 3-0 in Group A encounter. Fellaini, Lukaku and Rashford scored while Paul Pogba was injured and could be out for several weeks.
However, Jose Mourinho slammed his players' performances for much of the second half. He said,
Until 2-0 we were very stable, we played with confidence, with good choices. After 2-0 everything changed, we stopped playing seriously and stopped making right decisions. We could have put ourselves in trouble.We were playing fantasy football, Playstation football. I don’t like it, flicks and tricks.We gambled and you have to respect your opponent. I don’t know if goal difference will play a part. We lost position, our shape, we lost balls in easy situations. I didn’t like it, the players relaxed too much.
Sitting on top of the Premier League table and in their Group in the Champions League, the gaffer will be pleased. He did praise Ashley Young and Fellaini after tonight's win against FC Basel. Red Devils will face Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Manchester United got their 2017-18 Premier League season off to a flying start by destroying West Ham 4-0.
Lukaku, Martial and Pogba were on target for the Red Devils as they demolished Hammers, who put up little resistance in their opening game.
United controlled the game from start to finish and were absolutely brilliant. There was so much energy, pace, optimism and desire to attack in this team, which I haven't seen in a long time.
While United did enjoy majority of possession, the one thing that irked me was their conversion of chances. United had 22 attempts on goal but only 6 were on target.
Not able to convert the chances has been a problem United struggled last season too. But with the players that Jose Mourinho has got this summer, I'm optimistic United will improve on that statistic and mount a serious challenge for the title.
