Mourinho delighted with committed Man Utd in Burton win

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was pleased with his side's 'commitment' against Burton Albion on Wednesday night.

The Red Devils trounced the Championship side 4-1, booking their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Mourinho said: "We did our job. Not a phenomenal performance but a solid performance. Since the beginning, we played in a serious way.

"The players, many of them, needed 90 minutes to play because many of them were not playing a lot during the season. I think we did our job professionally.

"What pleased me the most was the commitment. They took it in a serious way.

"While the result was open, until we were 2-0 or 3-0 up, they forced the game, they wanted to kill the game. They wanted to be in the next draw. That professionalism and commitment is a very important thing."
