# Man United Post-Match Comments: Burton Albion (H)

Manchester United manager José Mourinho praised his side for a professional performance as they comfortably sailed through to the next round of the Carabao Cup with a 4-1 victory against Championship side Burton Albion.

Goals from Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial punctuated a dazzling performance from the Reds in all aspects, and the holders now go on to face fellow Premier League side Swansea City in the next round.

Speaking to *Sky Sports* in his post-match interview, the United manager praised his side’s professionalism and enjoyed his side’s commitment to the cause:

> Sometimes players in these cup matches are not professional. But that was an extremely professional performance.

> We gave no chance to the opponent. I think Burton fought for a result that allowed them some dignity and Nigel \[Clough\] made it clear their game at the weekend was more important.

> I learnt nothing new. They all want to play and are ready to play. I enjoy that commitment.

Mourinho also praised the contribution of his front four and was pleased that his side were enjoying their football at the moment:

> Martial was good, Mata was good, Lingard was good. Everybody in attacking areas gave a good dynamic to the team and especially happiness. We look happy playing football in this moment and that’s what I want.

United now turn their attention to the Premier League, as they travel down south to play Southampton on Saturday afternoon, before a long midweek trip to face CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.
