Reaction after Jose Mourinho's first English Premier League game in charge of Manchester United on Sunday (14th August) ended in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth.
SOUNDBITE: (English) Jose Mourinho, Manchester United manager (asked if the result sent a statement to United's rivals for the title):
"I don't think they need a statement. I think everybody knows that we are going to fight for the title. Win it or not win it is a different story, but everybody knows we are going to. We don't hide in our words, we don't hide in our approach, so we are going to fight until it's possible. If one day, it's not mathematically possible, then we think about top four, which would be one step ahead in relation to the past seasons and we'd be fine, but we want more than fine and we want to fight for the title, so let's see what happen(s)."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Jose Mourinho, Manchester United manager:
"I am really happy. I think, was a very good week of work for us, that start(ed) with the good feeling of winning the Community Shield. But the week was really good. We prepared (for) the game really well. So, we knew (the) first 15, 20 minutes would be like this, with them playing at a high intensity, pressing a lot in the middle of the pitch, so we had to control. After that we start(ed) finding our spaces to play and in the second half I think, (it) was a very complete performance because the first goal gave us the confidence, we were looking for more, we were playing very fluent and very objective and the attacking players were all in the game."
