“The kid is going to play lots of matches, for sure”, United manager Jose Mourinho said.

Kevin De Bruyne believes Pep Guardiola’s signings have rejuvenated a Manchester City team in need of a revamp.
The manager, celebrating the continuation of his 100% record, told press his side deserved the win and expressed his pride for their individual and collective performances.
Mourinho said United’s “bad” first half cost his team.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic among the goals and Paul Pogba adding much-needed zest to United’s engine room, they look slight favourites to take the points. They were hard to stop and had a lot of options on the ball, ideas.
Atletico’s luck turned when Koke met Griezmann’s fine cross eight minutes into the second-half to give the visitors the lead before Euro 2016’s top scorer Griezmann headed home his first two goals of the season in the final 20 minutes. He needs time. We need time and the world won’t give you time.
There’s plenty to be said for the new era of football video games, but everyone holds a candle for the 90s and its basic-yet-endearing versions of the titles we know and love today. We created enough chances.
But landing an early jab on the chin of Guardiola would be an irresistible carrot for the Portuguese who has transformed the mood at Old Trafford since his arrival, following the departure of the unpopular Louis van Gaal.
Guardiola also reserved praise for defensive duo Aleks Kolarov, Nicolas Otamendi and debutant goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
“He’s a victor and I see myself as a victor also”. I am normal. I don’t think the players are thinking about the impressive TV numbers. When you do this there is no match more important than another one when it comes to this stage of the season.
“It means a whole lot to me”.
“I’m not saying Micki is ready to play 90 minutes but he is ready to help us”, Mourinho told MUTV.
“We know they have so many options that to try to do that job (work out City’s formation) for the players is hard”.
“They’re the games everyone speaks about”.
“Yeah [if you pass the ball from the back] it can be too risky”.
“He is very, very good at attacking central defenders and the midfield players with the ball”.

‘You can not come to Old Trafford and dominate for 90 minutes, it’s impossible’. If we lose the ball, it’s a goal against us.
