Mourinho: "MU deserved to win, no one dares to criticize!"

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 good spirits ahead of the rematch against 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 from my personal point of view, MU was always dangerous 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 without 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 their 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!"
