Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho speaking to BT Sport: "It was the whole first half. I said at half-time I was the luckiest manager in the Premier League in a half when it should be like 5/6-2.
"We were defensively awful. As a team we didn't press or do any of the week we did in the week. People watching this game will not believe how hard we worked this week.
"The first half was a disaster. The second half was much better. We created lots of chances and deserved to score before the 92nd minute.
On his half-time team talk: "I started off positive. I said it is impossible to play worse than we did so the second half will be better for sure. I was happy bringing Ander Herrera into the game.
"I felt we needed him to give more balance and to recover the ball faster. I was happy with that change. It was much better."
"I can't believe that double chance from Ashley Young (Pogba) and Marcus Rashford. I can't understand [why we started slow]. My coaches said it was the best warm-up of the season.
"I think a few mistakes create instability. I love the song, 'attack, attack, attack' but you need to have stability when you lose the ball. It happened again against a good team but we were prepared for everything.
"We were ready for that. We knew that Joshua King was not playing. I really can't understand the kind of mentality that brings me more white hair!"
"I get to look forward to Liverpool Arsenal now, if arsenal lose we are closer to the top 4, if liverpool lose they are closer to 29 years"

Yep. It is.
You can always draw a positive out of any match, regardless of the score. Was reading the article from the aptly named Nobbb who was talking of today’s performance as ‘brilliant’. I guess all things are relative.

That first 30 minutes was like watching a sunday league football team - abaolutely pathetic.
Sexond half, felt we deserved it based on chances created.
Mata could have been taken off earlier with Lingard.
I like the look of Alexis up front.
