MOURINHO REACTS TO WIN OVER BRIGHTON
Jose Mourinho believes that Brighton were “probably” the toughest opponents his Manchester United have faced at home so far this season.

The Reds edged past the stubborn Seagulls as Ashley Young’s strike deflected in off Lewis Dunk in the second half and proved the difference in a vital 1-0 victory at the Theatre of Dreams.

Read what the boss had to say in his post-match interview with BBC Sport and in his press conference…

HAPPY WITH THE ATTITUDE
“I think they played really well. We didn't play well. The good thing for me was the intensity got higher in the second half in search of the goal and then, after the goal, we couldn’t kill the game and, in the last 10-15 minutes, I saw a team with everyone trying to play for the clean sheet and to give everything. But I have to praise a team and a manager that, a few months ago, were playing in the Championship and, today, they come to Old Trafford and they were the team until now who caused us the most problems.”

TOO MANY ATTACKERS?
“I wouldn’t be surprised if, today, some of the pundits say we play with too many attackers, but, if they say that, I think they are right. Sometimes you play with too many attacking players and you lose control of the game. We had a few problems defensively because [Nemanja] Matic and [Paul] Pogba were a bit isolated in the centre of the park and, if you compensate that with more creation, that's a good risk. And, against Newcastle, it was good because we were not solid defensively but we were really strong in creation. Today, our creation was poor. The three players that played with Lukaku did not get the ball, we weren’t successful on the one against one. Marcus [Rashford] did not have a happy match at all. So we did not have that creation and could expect some defensive problems against a good team on the counter attack.”

FINDING THE BALANCE
“I could expect us to concede a goal. I could expect us to have more football, more chances and more goals but we didn't and, when we saw that and we found ourselves winning 1-0, it was a moment to try to give balance but it is hard for me to be on the bench and I don't know when Pogba needs to be changed. I want to play Fellaini earlier, with Pogba but I don't know if Pogba is happy to be on the pitch on the fatigue line or if the fatigue reached the line. It is hard for me to be on the bench with this.”

REDS DON’T DESERVE BAD WORDS
“We had amazing chances a couple of days ago and we couldn’t score, today we did it. Congratulations to them for their performance, congratulations to my boys. My boys, they didn’t play well but they gave everything. The boys, they don’t deserve bad words from me.”

GOALS DRYING UP?
"In the Champions League, we played some of the best football away from home in the first half and could have been 6-0 but it was 0-0. I am not happy with that but today we scored one and one goal was enough for the three points because in the end we speak about what we want but the points is the most important."

CREDIT FOR BRIGHTON
“I want to be honest and give them what they deserve, for me, probably they deserve more than the result they got. They played really well, they had a good defensive organisation and then, when they had the ball, they were dangerous. Honestly, I think Brighton were very, very good. They gave us probably the hardest match we’ve had this season. I think we had more spirit and heart than quality.”

YOUNG EXPECTS TO HAVE GOAL TAKEN OFF HIM
Ashley Young has conceded that he expects his first goal for 18 months to be taken off him and instead be recorded as an own goal by Lewis Dunk.

United were struggling to break down a resolute Brighton & Hove Albion side before Young's powerful shot deflected off Dunk and looped past Matthew Ryan in the 66th minute.

The left-back was happier the team claimed the three points to close the gap on Manchester City, who play on Sunday at Huddersfield Town, and accepted he may not yet be off the mark for 2017/18.

“I’m trying to [claim the goal]," he told MUTV. "But it’s been given away as an own goal already. You just have to try to shoot and get it on target but it’s more important to get the three points."

Young's shot may have been going off target before hitting Dunk, even if team-mate Victor Lindelof felt it should go to his colleague. "I think it was Ashley’s goal," he said. "He did good work!"

The England international was more concerned with the upcoming schedule as the busy spell continues for Jose Mourinho's men.

"It was massively important to start the week with a victory, especially when you’re at home. We wanted to get the week off in the right way and we got the three points, when you get three points you’re delighted with it."

If it does officially go down as a Dunk own goal, it will make him the first player in Premier League history to put through his own net against both United and Manchester City in the same season. The victory against Brighton means the Red Devils have gone 39 games in all competitions without defeat at the Theatre of Dreams, last losing to City in September 2016.

United travel to Watford, one of Young's former clubs, on Tuesday night before facing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium next weekend

CARRICK TO BE OFFERED COACHING ROLE
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed he will be offering Michael Carrick a role on the coaching staff.

The club captain released a statement on Friday night saying he has undergone a heart procedure called a cardiac ablation and that he will soon be available for selection.

Mourinho, speaking after the 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, suggested the 36-year-old will continue as a player this season before having a decision to make on his future. After taking his coaching badges and working with the youngsters at the Aon Training Complex, it is clear the midfielder could take this step at a later date.

"Michael, as a person, is more important than Michael as a player," said the boss. "We gave him the time to relax, to recover, to feel confident, to make the decision [when he] wants to play, [when he] wants to stop.

"He knows that my coaching staff has the chair for him if he wants. When he wants the chair, it is there in the office for him. I want that, the board wants that and the owner wants that. So Michael is in a comfortable situation. His future will be with us.

"But he wants to be a player until the end of the season and now he feels confident to be back and now he is training back with us. So [he is] one more option for us, we need players and Michael wants to play so I am happy with that.
