Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho hailed his side's "beautiful" football after they saw off West Ham 4-1 in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
Footballers In The Last Year Of Their Contracts
After drawing 1-1 with the London club in the Premier League last weekend, the Red Devils put the Hammers to the sword, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial both scoring a brace on the night.
Mourinho, who was not in the dugout for the cup fixture as he served a touchline ban, was delighted with the team's performance and revealed how he pumped the team up at half-time, when the score was 1-1.
"I'm pleased with the goals, because the performance is something we are used to, we are playing very well at home, and this was more of the same," he said, as quoted by Sky Sports.
"I think, after their goal, we had 10 minutes where we felt it deeply, and the players on the pitch couldn't hide that, because West Ham's first shot was the equaliser.
"But in the second half the team got the confidence to play and to win comfortably and playing beautiful attacking football, which is something that the fans like, but we need results.
"I told them at half-time that it is not possible to stop playing so well because of a goal. I told them to forget about the goal, 1-1, and that we are playing so, so well that we have to keep comfortable. Forget the undeserved goal.
"In the second half we had the goals, so goals plus performance means the real happiness."
