Mourinho: "MU deserved to win, no one dares to criticize!"
The Portuguese strategist believes that MU always controlled the game during the 90 minutes against Liverpool and deserved to win all 3 points.
The explosive moments of "supporting actor" Marcus Rashford brought a 2-goal lead to the Red Devils after the first 45 minutes.

After the break, Liverpool rushed to attack and got an equalizer when Bailly scored an own goal. However, that was all Klopp's team could do in the second half.
With an important victory, MU firmly holds the second position in the table, 5 points ahead of Liverpool. The Red Devils are in very good spirits before the rematch with Sevilla in the second leg of the Champions League next week.
Speaking about the match, Mourinho shared: "We can split the encounter into two halves. MU belonged to the first half and Liverpool played better after the break. But in my personal opinion, MU always had potential danger and got 2 worthy goals in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, many experts in the commentary box may have different opinions. In my opinion, Liverpool controlled the ball well, while MU still knew how to control the game when they did not have the ball.
My team always had the situation under control. From free kicks, corners or dangerous situations created by the away team, MU still stood firm.

Against Liverpool, if you don't play well with the ball, trouble will immediately come. After the break, Liverpool pushed up the formation but the Red Devils still controlled the opponent's strikers very well.
If anyone thinks MU won unconvincingly, that's fine. I don't care. I'm a bit tired now because I have an important match next Tuesday.
I don't care what other people say. The students are happy. I'm happy too. That's enough!"
