Man Utd boss Mourinho delighted with Bournemouth performance: All considered for Spurs

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says he will consider all his players for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red Devils squad were auditioning for a starting gig at Wembley in Wednesday's clash against Bournemouth, which United won 2-0, courtesy of goals from Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku.

"The players were good," said Mourinho. "It was a good professional performance with good effort and responsibility. There was desire to score and a desire to cope with the defensive responsibilities against a fast team.

"All of them were professional and responsible. The first ambition was to finish in the top four and now one point is probably enough. When we have that resolved we can think about third and second place.

"Everything was faster, it was simple. The players were in the right positions and not trying one more flick, one more trick. Everything was good, I am happy.

"Every player on the pitch was positive and put himself available for Saturday."
