Jose Mourinho was clearly pleased with Manchester United's 1-0 win over St Etienne this evening.

The Red Devils advanced to the Round of 16 in the Europa League with a 4-0 aggregate win over the French club thanks to a strong away performance, highlighted by Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first-half goal.

Mourinho told BT Sport: "Everything was under control. Solid, focused, professional.

"Obviously the first goal kills every hope, but we still like to win. I told the players if somebody gives me a 2-0 victory I would not accept.

"We want always to try for the best possible results, so I think it's always good to win. We didn't play phenomenal, but we had complete control of the game and our destiny."
