Mourinho on Burnley win and ‘very sad’ Ibrahimovic injury
Date published: Sunday 23rd April 2017 4:44
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho declared himself “very happy” following his side’s 2-0 victory over Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.
Anthony Martial opened the scoring for the visitors when he finished off a delicate lay-off by Ander Herrera before Wayne Rooney scored his first goal since January to wrap up the win.
“I’m very happy,” said Mourinho.” It’s not easy to win here and it’s even harder to be in control and we were in control for 90 minutes. We understood the way they play and we played against their strengths. I think it was a great result that we deserved.
“We wanted Anthony Martial to get behind as he’s faster, and he did well. But I can’t choose an individual performance as they all did well. Paul Pogba and Eric Bailly get a mention after two hours of football at against Anderlecht.
“Everyone is very sad [about Ibrahimovic and Rojo injuries]. We were thinking about them. They have to be strong. Unfortunately they wont be the first or last players to get an important injury.
“Surgery is waiting for them but don’t want to say too much as it’s their privacy.”
