What were the key highlights from Manchester United's 4-0 win over Swansea City?
A 3 minute 41 blitz from United.
Martial, Pogba and Lukaku all on the score sheet once again as they were last week. Including of course that one from Eric Bailly just before half time. So 4-0 is the scoreline for United again and again like they did against West Ham last week. They have not conceded. 17 attempts to Swansea's six and not quite the 29 Swansea were on the end of against Southampton last week. Possession-wise, United with 59 to Swansea's 41%. But when you look back at 0-2 and 0-3, Henrikh Mkhitaryan right at the centre and his pass to set up Paul Pogba for the third. Absolutely sensational. He's been given the man of the match and he and Paul Pogba are now with Patrick Davidson.
Guys, well played. Paul, we keep hearing what a confident, happy side you are at the moment. Do we see more evidence of that again today?
Yes, the game, we have a very good result. 4-0 again with a clean sheet.
How did Martial, Pogba, and Lukaku contribute to the match?
So we carry on on this road. So we want this and we have to carry on like that.
Henrik, you had a hand in a couple of the goals. It was quite a tight game for a lot of it. Were you always confident that it would open up and spaces would be available to you later in the match?
Of course it was a tough game, especially in the first half, because they were playing with five defenders. But we had passion, we were doing what we have to do, and we could score in the first half from a sad piece, but we scored. And in the second half it became much easier. Why? Because they started playing with four defenders, so we had more spaces to create behind the defence line, and that's why we scored the second, the third and the fourth goal like that.
Why are you finishing games so strong at the moment? What do you put it down to?
I think the team spirit, that's what we need. Of course we had it in the last year as well, but now we have a little bit of luck where we're scoring the chances that we're creating. We started very well, the most important is that we have to keep doing the same.
What tactical changes did Swansea make during the match?
Paul, booked in that first half, there was a second one a few minutes after that. Was there a moment where you were a little bit worried what the ref might do?
To be honest, no. The second one, no. The first one, then I saw it again, it's a yellow card. We had a lot of pressure and we weren't in the best moment, so we started doing some stupid fouls. But the second one, I wasn't worried, so for me it wasn't a foul. Then after he came and talked to me, that's why I laughed with him. I said, are you serious? But it's okay. It's okay he didn't give me the red card because then after it would be very hard for us because red card in the first half and play like this would be difficult. But we've done a great job. Good job of the assist man. Yeah, we have to carry on like that.
To put it simply, you won a couple of trophies last season.
Why was Henrikh Mkhitaryan's performance significant in this game?
Last season was a good one. But are you a better team now?
I think we're more confident. We know each other more. Now is the second year. When you have the first-year manager, then you have to change the team. It's not easy, and we still want a sure face. This season we're more confident, we know the team very well, everybody knows each other, we work for each other, and I think that's easier for us. OK, well, the Premier League man of the match is Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Paul, got it, careful, that's heavy. Thank you.
And he already has four Premier League assists in the opening two games. He had one in the whole of last season. Alan and Thierry alongside me. It's another 4-0 win.
How did Paul Pogba navigate the risk of receiving a second yellow card?
In terms of the performance, how does it compare to last week against West Ham for United?
We saw almost the same. They went 1-0 up. And then as soon as you see a team that tries to open themselves up against a team like Man United, transition is key. We mentioned it at the beginning. You're going to leave yourself exposed. You see that if Lukaku holds the ball, then he can invite people on the counter. And it's very difficult to play against a team like Man United like that. I mean, as we can see now, you don't want to go 1-0 down against them.
