Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has praised his sides ‘dominant’ performance following their 2-0 victory over Zorya Luhansk in the Europa League on Thursday.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan broke the deadlock in the 48th minute with a superb solo effort before Zlatan Ibrahimovic all but sealed the victory in the 88th minute of the match.

The Portuguese manager believes his side put in a dominant performance to secure the victory and book their spot in the Round of 32.

‘We played well tonight. One thing is to play badly and get bad results, which kills confidence and is more difficult to cope with. When you play well, you have to hope the results will come,’ Mourinho told the Manchester United website.

‘The reality is nobody was better than us [in recent weeks], even though we had disappointing results. And in the players’ brains, that plays a part.’

Manchester United now returns to the Premier League when they face Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Kick-off has been scheduled for 16:15.
