“I had the opportunity to go to Italy or Spain as I had in the past but the Premier League is special”.
“It’s a natural evolution of things and it’s impossible to be faster than what we are doing with the way we are playing football and the way that the team is defending because it’s a different way to defend – zonal is much more hard to defend than man to man”.
“Fellaini is playing well”, Mourinho told reporters after the 2-0 win over Southampton. And it was a good start. “It’s a top club, we need to get used to winning and carry on like this”.
“That’s what I’m saying, I need September because the relation can be good, the players can be good professionals, they can feel I trust all of them, but when a player doesn’t play one, two, three games, the frustration comes and it is hard to play well”, he explained.
When questioned on what they had improved on, he explained: “Everything”. Outside the pitch, inside the pitch is also new.
Don’t worry, Manchester United players, you’ll all get a turn to be best buds with Paul Pogba sooner rather than later.
“We need to get to know the philosophy of the coach. We need to put the puzzle together and then work on it”. It was a match winning performance from Zlatan as he scored his third and fourth goals for the club to lead the them to victory.
“There is an evolution in things and we have to go in relation to that”. “He is learning to play with us”. They always had very good support from our wingers to close down the opponents.
Paul Pogba also made his first United appearance since his world record move from Juventus.
“It is important what the guys [at United] think about me, that is the most important thing”.
Mourinho said: “He is very good in the air but he is very good with his feet”.
“I will not deny that Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and that makes me happy to be associated with it”.

Mourinho’s last 12 months have been topsy-turvy, going into the last season as Ethe PL champions with Chelsea before getting sacked in December, but the Portuguese said he was upbeat about his new job. The visitors had plenty of the ball, but managed only one shot on target – a first-half strike from Shane Long – in the match.
