The Portuguese boss was an animated figure on the touchline throughout the match, relentlessly urging his Red Devils on. His passionate antics and celebrations delighted many United fans who want to see more of the same now from the manager.
With a long, hard season ahead, and a big task in chasing down Manchester City facing them, this good start was vital. Mourinho will hope that both Pogba and Shaw can now kick on in their United careers after getting on the scoresheet early on.
