Where were you the last 10 - 12 years? That game vs Liverpool was vintage Mourinho. I think only Falconer got the idea when he said he expected Man United to start playing a boring style when it was announced that Mourinho was going to become the manager months ago. He's known to be pragmatic and would sacrifice style for points.
And it's also showing that the United players now get what Mourinho's style is. But it's far from the flamboyant style of the Ferguson era.
It was indeed a boring game and I keep wondering until now why would they go for mourinho when they could offer more money to pep and bring him to manchester united . They could get ancelotti as their coach as well and yet they choose mourinho and all he ever did to united is to spend their money bringing worthless pogba
