Manchester United Could Have Scored More Goals, Mourinho Insists

Jose Mourinho insists that Manchester United could have scored more goals in their 2-0 Premier League victory over Southampton on Friday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as United coasted to victory over the Saints, with Claude Puel's men rarely threatening the hosts following Dusan Tadic's disallowed first-half goal.

And Mourinho was pleased with his side's display, though he felt the victory could have been even more dominant.

"[We were] good enough to deserve the victory and to be in control," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"I know that by the numbers they had moments of more possession but I knew that, the closed diamond is good to hide the ball from opponents but they didn't create danger and we were always in control. The result could be bigger.
"It's a natural evolution of things and it's impossible to be faster than what we are doing with the way we are playing football and the way that the team is defending because it's a different way to defend - zonal is much more difficult to defend than man to man.
"It is impossible to demand more from the boys, great spirit, everyone working hard, and I'm pleased."

Paul Pogba made his second United debut after completing a world-record move from Juventus and the France international impressed Mourinho.

"I think he was so good," Mourinho said. "Everything was so good, as an individual he was so good, collectively he is learning how to play with us, but I am really happy.

"We have to improve and one day we hope he can play more offensively but he needs the freedom that he had today. I couldn't be happier with him.
