They could have really perhaps got something out of this game or stayed in it a lot longer than they did.
But the thing that Mourinho always has is obviously he has technical flair players, but he always has that power to cope with the lesser teams.
So the lesser teams, you know, you're looking at your set plays, you're looking for an advantage, and his team can cope with all of that.
And then, of course, when they get into a position where they're leading the game and we're talking about pace and power on the side, well, you're in trouble with this Man Utd team.
They really come at you fast and they're coming at you direct.
Lukaku, for me, needs to improve at Man Utd on when they regain possession.
His movement today wasn't good enough to come short, to go long, to make it quicker action.
He needs to get a little bit more of that and he'd have got more touches today.
There were times when the ball changed hands to Man Utd and he was static or he was behind the centre-back.
He needs to think a little bit quicker.
Obviously, when the chance comes, this guy doesn't miss.
He really is a good finisher.
We were talking earlier about Van Nistroy and Teddy Sheringham and Zlatan.
He needs to get some of that.
He needs to get some of that cleverness about where to be.
Well, I think he's at the best place to learn it because he's going to be watching a video with Jose after the game and his coaching team and saying, you've got to switch on a little bit quicker.
Because once it goes into him and he sticks it, wow.
Welcome to United.
That's his profile.
Yeah, and I know when he was at Everton because Yala Balassi's there and I said to Yala about him and, you know, he's just reflecting exactly what Thierry's saying.
