Good game from the lads. Albeit mourinho ought to reinstate the fact that football is for 90 minutes to all of them. We could have easily drawn after losing concentration. Arsenal next |

“We should have scored seven. We were very dangerous for 90 minutes, I think, and we had a chance to score in the first half and kill the game and we had also a chance at 3-0 to control the game because 3-0 is more than enough to win but we lost concentration and gave them life. "We gave them life with the first goal and then we were a couple of minutes with normal fear and pressure of losing the points.” - JOSE MOURINHO |

“The second half should have been five or six-nil and it was even easier to score goals in the second half than in the first but we missed these chances and this is football. "Out of nothing, penalty and 3-1 and then the game is a different one. But it’s a match to win comfortably and in the end at 3-2 the game is in a grey zone and Jesse [Lingard] had that fantastic initiative and killed the game.” - JOSE MOURINHO |

“Great goals and we missed a [chance to make it] 4-0 also in a great action at the end of the first half and in the second half we had a great high pressure to recover the ball high and [Romelu] Lukaku also had that one with an open goal and [Paul] Pogba’s header is also a free header. "We had lots of chances which came out of nothing, but 3-1 and then the game is different.” - JOSE MOURINHO |

"He was good. He’s playing well. I know the positions where he can be useful for us. This left-back position is adapted to him at this point in this career. "I am surprised that Paul [Pogba] gave him permission [for the free-kick for the second goal]. "In training, his conversion rate [from free-kicks] is high but we have other options and sometimes he doesn’t take but probably today, after his first goal, he had the confidence. "Paul [Pogba] let him have the option to take and it was a beautiful goal, yeah.” - JOSE MOURINHO 1 Like |

“They [Watford] are full of confidence, they have nothing to lose, they are a team that has no pressure, they play the way they do. "For them to lose 3-0 or lose 5-0 is exactly the same, so after the 3-1, they come into the game and there were a few minutes where we should be smoking cigars but certainly we were a big team in trouble.” - JOSE MOURINHO 2 Likes |

“I think he [Lukaku] needs a big contract with boots. At the moment, he has no contract with any brand, that is why he is wearing black boots! "Jokes apart, he works amazingly well for the team. I would never blame him for missing an easy chance, never. He's an amazing professional. I couldn't be happier with him." - JOSE MOURINHO 1 Like |

“Yes, I am pleased [with Martial's Contributions]. I think he suffers a little bit with accumulation of matches. "I could feel that in the second half he was going down and down and down. He’s still a young guy and his body, his biological situation has space to improve but in the first half, during the time, he had strength and explosion in his legs. He was dangerous and [scored] an important goal.” - JOSE MOURINHO |

“I think Richarlison is a very good player and a difficult player to play against but Victor is very fast and he’s adapted to play centrally but also to go to the sides because he’s got the agility that many of the central defenders don’t have. "I think it was another very positive performance by Victor.” - JOSE MOURINHO 2 Likes |

TALKING POINTS FROM UNITED'S TUESDAY TRIUMPH LINGARD STAKES AWARD CLAIM Jesse Lingard not only killed the game - scoring just two minutes after Abdoulaye Doucoure had made it 3-2 with Watford's second strike - but he also threw down the gauntlet for Goal of the Month, if not the Season with an amazing solo run that started deep inside United's half. The no.14 said afterwards: "I just remember picking the ball up and thinking there’s a lot of space on this pitch. There was nothing else on at the time so I felt I had to be direct and go for goal. A lot of their fans were up [at 3-2] and we had to regain our composure and calm down on the ball. I think there were about seven minutes to go [including injury time] and the fourth goal settled us down." YOUNG'S HAPPY HOMECOMING It was a night to remember for Ashley Young as he made a triumphant return to Watford, the club where he started his career. Despite his history with the Hornets, he was in no mood to do them any favours and he lashed in a ruthless opening effort before punishing a foul on Paul Pogba near the edge of the box with an unstoppable free-kick. "It was obviously a nice homecoming. I don’t think their fans were too happy about it but it’s one of those things. If I score goals, of course I’m going to celebrate." FOUR GOALS ONCE AGAIN The Reds' quartet of cracking strikes - started by Young's double and completed by Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard - means United have now racked up four goals in seven separate matches this season. The overall tally for the season now stands at 49 ahead of the Arsenal game on Sunday, while the number of different scorers has risen to 13 with Young becoming the latest name on that list. THREE MUSKETEERS AT THE BACK United's central defensive trio all had reasons to feel positive about their busy night against a strong Watford attack. Victor Lindelof has now started three Premier League games in a row for the first time, Chris Smalling's experience was invaluable in the latter stages under the cosh and Marcos Rojo tasted league action for the first time since April. The Argentinian's rustiness may have been a factor in the foul for the Hornets' penalty but he'll surely still take heart from clocking up the full 90 minutes in a victory. MARTIAL MATCHES HIS TALLY Anthony Martial's well-taken finish from the edge of the box in the first half was the irrepressible Frenchman's eighth goal of the season already in all competitions – equalling his tally for the whole of 2016/17. Martial was once again the tormentor in chief, with his pace and trickery causing all sorts of problems to Watford’s back three before he was substituted on 65 minutes. Mourinho admitted afterwards that the recent accumulation of matches had taken its toll on the forward, with the no.11 now starting the last four matches since the international break. But he's taken his game to another level already this term and, if he sustains this, there’s no reason why the 21-year-old cannot emerge as United’s top scorer come the end of the season. HALF-CENTURY FOR IBRAHIMOVIC Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his 50th appearance for the Reds in all competitions when given a late cameo at Vicarage Road; the veteran striker has now come off the bench in the last four games to ease his way back into action following his remarkable recovery from a serious knee injury. The 35-year-old didn’t have much time to make an impact and is yet to get on the scoresheet since his return but has already given the squad a huge boost. The Swede will soon be ready to start games again and he will give Mourinho another striking option which will be most welcome during a hectic December schedule. |
