Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has described his side's 2-0 win over Southampton of Friday night as a team effort.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave the Red Devils the victory after scoring twice in both halves of the game to hand the Portuguese born manager his first home victory in the EPL.
He said this after the game: "I'm very happy. I know we cannot play 90 minutes the way we want to. It's impossible to have that consistency for 90 minutes. In many moments, for long periods in the game, we played offensively like we want to play and were very solid defensively with 10 players defending and not 6, 7 or 8. It was a collective effort so I'm pleased for the boys."
On Pogba, he said: "He could play extra-time! He was phenomenal and surrounded by organisation, by vision for the game. Marouane Fellaini was so good. The way the wingers were closing spaces inside. I'm so happy with the organisation of the team. Everything that was individual was superb and the things related to the team he [Pogba] tried very hard to do. When I was thinking he was losing consistency and possession, was when I brought Ander Herrera on to close the defensive door."
Mourinho added that Zlatan is on fire regardless of his age: "If he doesn’t score, the contribution will be there because he can’t score every week. The way he holds the ball, the way he’s a target man and gives stability to the team, I think he was very good again."
"Luke [Shaw] and Antonio [Valencia] were offensive when they had to be and very good defensively. They always had very good support from our wingers to close down the opponents."
"I felt completely at home. I know I’m not a very nice guy, not smiling or waving, but it’s not in my nature. Once I leave the changing room, I get into my game." He told Man United Website
