Mkhitaryan is on fire right now, unfortunately he was taken off on a stretcher after scoring the winning goal against Tottenham Hotspur. But that doesn't take anything away from this great result for the Red Devils, Jose Mourinho was very pleased with his players' performance and expects them to completely wake up on the Premier League. Looks like things are slowly shifting for them this time around, only Fellaini wasn't comfortable as he got jeered by the fans.
United boss Mourinho said that he understands the jeering against him: “I accept it because from the fans. You have to accept everything and especially fans that are giving so much without getting so much. The only things they are getting are honesty, professionalism dedication but not the results they expect. They have in their mind the mistake that Marouane did at Everton and no more than that. He is a player and a person I like and the person is more important. He will always have my protection and trust.”
About Mkhitaryan's injury, Mourinho added: “I think Mkhitaryan was man of the match but if you have a trophy for a second, give to Hugo Lloris. The save he makes after 50 seconds is a goal save and then another and then another. Then the post. The good thing is we mange not to concede. The injury doesn’t look like a big one. It doesn’t look like one needing surgery or months of recovery. It depends always on the player.
“We still have our ambitions this season and to win this match puts in a position where we can fill them. We are in touch with fifth, with fourth. We were six points from Tottenham. If we lose, it is nine. I knew against Tottenham it is difficult to get the result without playing well. We played very well. Tottenham is a complete team so to win against them we need to play very well which we did.”
