Jose Mourinho "satisfied" with Manchester United performance

Mourinho "satisfied" with Man Utd display

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that he is "satisfied" with his side's performance during their 3-0 win over Valerenga in their penultimate pre-season friendly this evening.

Goals from Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay handed the Red Devils a comfortable victory in Oslo as they made it five wins from six pre-season outings on their return to Europe from the United States.

United will complete their preparations with a match against Sampdoria on Wednesday before the serious business gets under way against Real Madrid in the European Super Cup on August 8.

"I am satisfied. I thank Ronny [Deila] and these boys [Valerenga] for the game they gave us and I thank the ref because they had a very professional training session. Of course, Champions League referees are top quality referees," he told reporters.

"It was good for us because it was a good pitch and the opponents were very well organised, trying to play from the back. After the United States, and matches where we were struggling with jet lag, it was a good game for us where I could play each player for 45 minutes.

"Now, with one more step, a little rest and the Sampdoria match and then the official season starts and, until now, we have no injuries. So let's see if we can start the official season with this positive situation."

United will begin the new Premier League season at home to West Ham United on August 13.
