"At the end the best team will win so the game was good and we got the 1-0 and the red card", he said. Because of course I can't move the same as five or 10 years ago, but the older, the more experienced, the more intelligent [you get], you don't waste so much energy on things you don't really need.

On Sunday against Sunderland, the 35-year-old scored the opening goal for Manchester United and reached a personal landmark. It is the ideal preparation for Thursday's crucial Europa League quarter-final tie against Belgian side Anderlecht.

"We did that and, apart from that, there were no more injuries to add to the hard list we have, because we don't hide that we are still fighting for our situation in the Premier League".

While Zlatan Ibrahimovic's handsome finish and a much needed goal for Marcus Rashford were reasons enough to be cheerful, our favourite moment came in the 87th minute.

"Every player should receive some criticism because we are not ideal".

"You know when Madrid likes a player, they tend to come and get him".

Mourinho told BBC: "We want to fight in the Premier League until it is mathematically impossible".

United needed goalkeeper Sergio Romero to spread himself at close range to deny Victor Anichebe Sunderland's first league goal since 4 February, and the hosts suffered another blow when Larsson was dismissed. "We reacted to the results of yesterday because Man City and Liverpool won and it left us in a position of 'yes or no?' and it was a yes", he added.
