Simon Thomas

When he gets into those positions, he's got the presence of mind to lift his head and pick out the pass.

I mean, it's difficult for him.

He burst onto the scene, didn't he, in a blaze of glory last year with those goals and everything.

He has to be patient now.

You're going to have those dips, aren't you?

Yeah, I mean, yeah, his form at times hasn't been quite as it was, but it's never going to be that way.

But he has got a temperament, I think, to cope with that.

Even when he's interviewed, you know, you can see he's very level-headed and he's going to be a tremendous player.

By the way, Mata involved in 40 goals in his last 101 United appearances.

Only Wayne Rooney more than that.

But let's look at 2-0 because earlier this season, Mourinho was bemoaning their lack of luck.

They got a bit today, didn't they?

quick look at the assistant before he puts it away, doesn't he?

In an instant, yeah.

It's like a side foot almost, and he's hit it with such power.

At the time, I'm thinking, oh, how's Randolph got beaten at his near post there?

But, I mean, it's that close to the near post, and he's whacked it just with such power, the player.

Jose Munoz, Manchester United have made it six Premier League wins in a row, a 2-0 win against West Ham, and the United boss is now with Patrick Davison.

And it means United are six points better off at this stage of the season than they were last time around.

Start of the season, Nali, looked like he had the world weighing down on his shoulders.
