West Ham 0-2 Manchester United: Red Devils continue winning streak
However, the decision seemed harsh, with both players going in strongly and Feghouli hardly looking to hurt his opponent.
The lack of quality players available in the ongoing transfer market, as compared to the summer window is the main reason why Mourinho is not interested in signing anyone at the moment.
Manchester United are a little shaken now, with Mourinho showing his frustration by arguing a few refereeing decisions that go against his team.
Mourinho’s charges remain sixth in the Premier League table, but are now one point behind fourth place Arsenal. “Hopefully, we can continue with this winning streak”.
“The team is better, they’ve got more arrogance, more personality, and in the last two games they’ve been starting to win a lot more like Manchester United used to win”.
Ibrahimovic has scored 17 goals this season for Manchester United in 27 appearances in all competitions; in addition to that he also has six assists to his name.
That gave the home side further cause for complaint, but United will believe they were owed a touch of good fortune.
“I knew Mkhitaryan was a top talent and I was not playing him”.
“There was not a lot to speak to him because if you open your mouth, they give you a yellow”.
Prior to the sending off, West Ham had looked lively – with Dimitri Payet finding some space in between United’s midfield and defence, which no doubt would have continued with eleven players on the pitch – unless Mourinho looked to a change. After a sluggish start, they made the most of it.
The Premier League match between Manchester United and West Ham will be broadcast live on NBC Sports.
West Ham had lost none of their previous four league meetings with United but they were dealt a big blow on 15 minutes when Sofiane Feghouli, on his first start in England’s top flight, was sent off for a late tackle on Phil Jones. Therefore, it is not surprising that Jose Mourinho fears losing his No. 9 to injury. On came Mata at half time to provide more craft and precision; then there was Rashford, putting the nail on West Ham’s coffin with raw, unbridled aggression on the left hand side. He also played a part in Paul Pogba’s victor moments later before receiving praise from Mourinho as well as pointed advice.
