Jose Mourinho praised McTominay’s performance

“I think United had one player that was responsible for that because I think Scott McTominay in midfield he was like what I used to call – but when I use this expression its obviously in the total positive sense of the word.“He was a mad dog. Afraid of nobody. Imposing his respect.“Pressing really hard with a huge range of movement a huge area of pressing.“Pressing higher and creating problems in Barcelona building up then really aggressive on the duels.

Mourinho also thought neither side were at their best, with it all still to play for in the second leg.I think it was a missed opportunity for both, he added. I dont think either team was good.“So if one of them was better, probably in Barcelonas case they could kill the tie.“Which they didnt because 1-0 is open. And Manchester United is also… Could get a different result. United zero shots on target.“Barcelona I think two or three. And what surprised me more with Barcelona is that they didnt have efficiency on the passing.The majority of the matches when they are not able to create they are not able to score more goals at least they keep the ball.“They keep the ball from their opponent and the opponent feels always in some mental weakness because they are always running and chasing the ball.
