Man Utd boss Mourinho pleased with win over Everton

Jose Mourinho was pleased with Manchester United's performance in their 4-0 win over Everton on Sunday.

After Antonio Valencia scored United's first with a thunderbolt after four minutes, the game game remained on a knife edge until Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled the Red Devils not the 83rd minute mark.

Romelu Lukaku and a penalty from Anthony Martial rounded off the win.

Mourinho said: "I think the performance was very good especially in the first 30-35 minutes - it probably was our best performance because we played with our central defenders inside of their half, we pressed them totally and they had no chance to come out.

"They only had one shot on target. I think the first half an hour, thirty five minutes was really impressive.

"After that Everton, good players, they came into the game. A little bit of pressure because of the bad results but they came with pride and with quality and they started giving us some little difficulties."
