The best thing about this game was that it was 100% routine, and routine wins while not playing at top gear are probably the most important characteristic of any top side. There were a few good performances, ultimately with the gap in quality separating the sides.
For someone who was leaning on the 'Mourinho Out' side, not for any particular agenda against Mou, but simply because I feel that we should be always looking to improve, but under Mourinho I felt this season would be very similar to last season and we are at a critical stage where we really need someone to come in take this talented squad to the next level.
However, this performance caps off a great couple of weeks with 3 away wins on the bounce, and the best thing about it is that Mourinho came out fighting after the Spurs loss, and the players have followed him and really shown some character in the last couple of weeks. The performances probably still aren't where they should be, but for the first time in a long time I feel like I am watching a United side with the bit between their teeth, and although the football still isn't great, the determination and character shown by the squad has been refreshing.
