Manchester United continued their 100% start to the season with a 2-0
win over Leicester City are Old Trafford on Saturday. Second half
goals from substitutes Marcus Rashford and Felliani means they have
nine points from three matches.
Speaking after the match, Jose Mourinho hailed the performance of his
players and lauded their confidence on the ball.
"We played very well," the Portuguese said
"The team is playing very well and I'm very confident. We are
comfortable on the ball and dangerous on the counterattack.
"The result was open at 0-0 and it was obviously very difficult. The
blue wall was very well organised and I always give credit to that,
but we kept calm and kept control.
"After missing the penalty team remained confident and we deserved it.
If I had to choose a word to describe my team it would be solid."
"We can look into perspective, last season we won against Leicester at
home so that doesn't make a difference, but we had too many draws at
home last season.
"Nine points after three matches is nothing different for us because
we did that last season.
"The difference is the quality of our football, we're playing better
now and if we hadn't won this match I wouldn't have anyone to
blame."
Manchester United stay top of the formative Premier League table ahead
of the international break.
They face Stoke City away from home when the league resumes on 9th September.
