A picture perfect start for Mourinho and his Red Devils



For the Boys of Old Trafford with a perfect start so far in the campaign, reminiscent of the good old days of Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm of the Red Devils.

Now under Jose Mourinho a new era is already started under the Portuguese being in his second year.

With its third win of the campaign, it looks like Manu is off to a great start of what promises to be a positive campaign in this parts of Manchester.

As their first two matches with eight goals scored over West Ham United and Swansea, todays win shows off their defensive backfield delivering with three clean sheets for their goalie David De Gea. 

Sitting pretty in first place with ten goals deferential over their closest foes, United is looking forward to a prominent campaign and delivering the Barclays shield if everything continues to go according to Jose Mourinho’s way.

Playing at home were the Red Devils once enjoyed a certain dominance and perfection and this was loss during Moyes era and even during Van Gaal despite the Dutch slight turnaround and delivering the lone FA trophy.

Still it has not been easy for the Portuguese as last campaign despite several setbacks and not finishing among the top four but delivering a Champions spot for their overall Europa League achievement.

With baby to giant steps, all of a sudden, things are getting better in Trafford with three trophies delivered so far and losing one trophy final to Real Madrid recently, still the outlook for United is a lot better.

However, in tonight has match the Red Devils did earned their pay with a stingy and very conservative Leicester City defensive backfield and a rock star in Kasper Schmeichel who stopped cold in his tracks the scoring momentum of Romelu Lukaku in the 53 minute.

As Lukaku coming from a couple of matches scoring a total of three goals in the campaign with his debut against the Hammers he delivered himself with a double, but today a first for him of being held scoreless.

in the head of Jose Mourinho many things came to his head and that is when he needed to make some moves that at the end became opportune for the Portuguese.

The first move came in the 67 with midfielder Juan Mata coming out for forward Marcus Rashford, second was Henrik Mkhitaryan for Marouanne Fellaini in the 74 and last in the 76 was Jesse Lingard substituted Anthony Martial.

So effective were the moves of Mourinho, when Rashford started making all sorts of moves and plays towards the posts defended by Schmeichel stirring things up for the Foxes backfield, until the play that defined the match.

With a one two play between Henrik Mkhitaryan passing to Mrcus Rashford he sent a cannon of a shoot and beating the likes of the Dane for the first score of the game despite being in a crowd inside the area, in the 70 Manu was 1-0.

By breaking the momentum and brick wall that the City squad had imposed on United strikers, the moves made by the locals manager became to pay off when another magnificent play between Jesse Lingard and Marouanne Fellaini delivered.

Twelve minutes passed and Lingard and Fellaini did not disappointed Mou with a brilliant play in the 82 to seal the deal and continue perfection for their Red Devils now reading to play Stoke away at Bet 365 Stadium.

Despite win, this did not come delivered in a plate as Manu boss is starting to see the thick of competition in league play is starting, unfortunately the good game displayed by Leicester City it became heartbreaker at the end.
