Jose Mourinho reckons he was the “luckiest manager in the Premier League” as Manchester United recovered from a disastrous defensive display to beat Bournemouth 2-1 on Saturday.
Mourinho was furious with United’s sloppy first half at Dean Court as Callum Wilson fired Bournemouth ahead.
United could have been even further behind before the break as Bournemouth wasted a host of chances to increase their lead.
But Anthony Martial equalised and Mourinho steered United back on course with a stern half-time team-talk and substitute Marcus Rashford snatched the winner deep into stoppage time.
Jose says: “It was the whole first half. I said at half-time I was the luckiest manager in the Premier League in a half when the score should be like 6-2.
“We were defensively awful. As a team we didn’t press or do any of the work we did in the week. People watching this game will not believe how hard we worked this week."
