Post-match reaction from Jose Mourinho
His view of the match: "It was a phenomenal game. I loved the way my team played and fought. I also have to say Arsenal played amazing attacking football, creating difficulties for us. I have to say that my players deserve all the great words: amazing, phenomenal, fantastic. We deserved three points."
On his team's game plan: "The plan was to defend, starting with the attacking players and when we have the ball we have to try to counter-attack fast and try to score goals, which we did. We hit the post, we had the final situation of Lukaku facing Petr Cech. Of course they had chances but we fought and we have a great goalkeeper too. We deserve it."
On David de Gea's performance: "I told him after the match, what I saw today was the best goalkeeper in the world. In big matches, you need goalkeepers to be there for you. I think all of our players' efforts were magnificent. The intelligence to play tactically according to the moments of the game."
On Paul Pogba's dismissal: "I don't know. I leave that one for you and the Lukaku situation with Koscielny."

Post-match reaction from Arsene Wenger
His view of the match: "I'm disappointed because when you produce that quality and you have nothing to show for it, it's difficult to accept. In a defeat you sometimes have no positives. Today there were positives but we weren't efficient enough. We put ourselves in a difficult situation by not starting well at the back.
"Despite our start we had 33 shots on goal against Man United. Their goalkeeper was absolutely outstanding."
