“You’ve got to be committed to what you do yourself and have some kind of identity and I thought the Hull City players today performed magnificently in all departments”.

After the game Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho said: “Marcus Rashford has a lot of chances waiting for him”. Pep Guardiola V/S Jose Mourinho in a Manchester derby is a mouth-watering prospect and with both the clubs doing good, the contest will be even and exciting.
“I knew he was good last season and now working with him every day, I think the same”.
Rashford, who burst on to the scene last season under previous boss Louis van Gaal and was rewarded with a place in England’s Euro 2016 finals squad, will have thanked elder statesman Rooney for his victor. When the team was chasing the ball against Leicester in the Community Shield and tonight, he made a difference for us.
Mourinho added in his post-match press conference: “Marcus gave us diversity in our football because he’s different to Rooney, he’s different to Zlatan”. I have two weeks before the next match, I have to analyse the opponent and see the way my boys are coming back from the global games.
“I have to analyse”.
Mourinho’s United side looked extremely safe and secure at the back but lacked the final punch in the first half.
‘We can start some matches with another player in front of Zlatan but you have to be very dominant to play that way.
“We did everything to win”, Mourinho said.
The uncertainty over the club’s future might also be at an end, however, with vice-chairman Ehab Allam writing in the programme that the match could be his family’s last as owners, with takeover talks with a Chinese consortium well advanced. We knew that [Tom] Huddlestone would play in a line of three and we knew they would be very organised.
“This Man United team now is on a bit of a roll and they are strong, and strong in the depth they have got as well”. The kid is going to be playing a lot of matches this season.
Manchester United visited newly promoted Hull City.
That deal may free up funds to supplement the Tigers’ threadbare squad – Tottenham’s Ryan Mason is a target – and help them continue to defy the Premier League’s usual rules of gravity.
Phelan, who is hoping to sign goalkeeper David Marshall from Cardiff City, is desperately short of senior players, despite the return of defender Harry Maguire from injury.
So disappointing last term, Eden Hazard has made a vibrant start to the new campaign and the Belgium midfielder put Chelsea ahead with a superb run and clinical finish from the edge of the penalty area in the ninth minute at Stamford Bridge.

“We need players in here”. We tried and tried and got it.
