Jose Mourinho reacts to Manchester Uniteds win over Burnley

Jose Mourinho reacts to Manchester United's win over Burnley

02 September 2018 - 17:53

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has described the three points gotten from his side's win over Burnley on Sunday as an 'important thing'.

  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Fernandes unhappy with Man Utd role under Amorim

  • Two first half goals from Romelu Lukaku ensured the win for United after two successive Premier League defeats to Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur.

    Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho said: "The three points were an important thing, the quality of the performance and happiness of the team is an Old Trafford response".

    The win means that United have bounced back from their embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford last Monday.

    After losing to Brighton and Spurs, there were reports that United would sack Mourinho should the Red Devils lose to Burnley, but a win against Sean Dyche's men will most definitely secure the Portuguese' job for the meantime.

    United thoroughly deserved the win, and despite Paul Pogba having his penalty kick saved and Marcus Rashford seeing red with much of the second half to go, United still created chances and should have scored more.
