    Jose Mourinho on the imminent signing of Paul Pogba: "Finally. It’s amazing that such a good player is with us. Finally we have him. He comes to a winning side - a team who have their last two matches, in the FA Cup and today. He has to work hard to come to the team."

    Jose Mourinho on his decision to bring off Juan Mata, who was only a substitute himself: "I think he played very well. He gave me exactly what I needed. 

    "The rules allow six changes, I had made five and I wanted to stop the game. I need to take off the smallest player because we are expecting a lot of long balls. He is the smallest one. 

    "We want to win. Everyone is happy in the end."

    Jose Mourinho on Marouane Fellaini's poor backpass to set up Jamie Vardy's goal: "[It was] the mistake of the slow pitch. 

    "Before the game I touched the pitch and thought we're in trouble. We wanted a quick pitch. I don't know if they forgot to water the pitch."

  6. 'It wasn't a fantastic performance'published at 18:31 British Summer Time 7 August 2016

    Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho told BT Sport: "The first half performance was much better than the second. The team isn't fit enough yet. 

    "When Leicester increased the pace, they had three quick players and changed the game. It's an important victory but we have lots of work to do. I would be not ambitious if I said it was a fantastic performance. It wasn't. It's always important to start with a trophy.

    "Zlatan will be more dangerous when we are more dominant and play closer to the box. He's not a fast player like Jamie Vardy, who can play 50 yards from the box. He needs the team to play and produce chances for him. We need to change this."

    Steve Howes: Zlatan compares Utd to Milan, guess he prefers to forget his time at Barca. Utd have spent so much of course they are big again.

    Isaac Dee: Didn't Zlatan play for Barcelona? How come "The only one [club] I can compare it [Man Utd] to is Milan"? 

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic hated his one season at Barcelona. He definitely didn't forget to mention them (see 18:03 BST).

    Leicester are coming up the stairs to get their runners-up medals. 

    Not sure there's any need for Community Shield runners-up medals, being honest.

    "It was a difficult game. We played against a good team. They were very strong. Something big is going on with our team. We begin with a trophy.

    "I feel very good. The team is fantastic. Good team-mates, good spirit. The coach does everything to win. It is probably the biggest club I played in. The only one I can compare it to is Milan."
