“I am very happy with the points. I am very happy with something that represents for me the spirit of the team, which is Lukaku’s sliding tackle after 50 meters running back to help the team,” Mourinho said reported by Manchester Evening News.

“I felt that my central defenders need, especially in this moment of a bit of instability, they need somebody to support them and give them the first wall, physically. Marouane is giving us more than that, he is giving that but also quality and simplicity. He is playing simple and well. I’m really happy,” he explained.

Man United’s victory was smudged due to the second yellow card for their important Serbian midfielder, Nemanja Matic. The coach Mike Dean repelled him outside. Consequently, he will pass the match next week match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Mourinho gave his comment.

“I don’t know (if it was a sending off). The only thing I know is Mike Dean was very good and the assistants were very good. Paul Tierney on the touchline, he was very good too. It was an easy job for Paul because me and Javi (Gracia), we didn’t create any problems,” Mourinho added.

“But they did a very good job, and if it is yellow or not, I don’t know. It is too far for me,” he concluded.
