Mourinho happy with fans, Woodward

Jose Mourinho thanked Manchester United fans for helping their side to a timely win at Burnley, while he backed under-fire Ed Woodward.

Mourinho’s men rallied impressively at Turf Moor and Romelu Lukaku’s first-half brace secured a win far more comfortable than the 2-0 scoreline suggests.

The United manager clambered over the advertising hoardings at full-time and gave his jacket to one of the fans that had chanted his name throughout.

“I think we start winning this match because of Old Trafford after Spurs,” Mourinho said.

“We lose at home, if the fans react bad, the team loses confidence, the week is not a good week, the team feels pressure and the next match is even more difficult.

“We lost at home, the fans were amazing to the team, the team understood that the direction was good, the result was bad.

“The week was not a sad week. It was a very good week of work and we started the week as you saw.

“Then the fans, of course, were together with the team, especially in the way the team was playing and I feel a bit sorry that we didn’t score a couple of goals in front of them because that would be magic for them.”
