Preseason Tour: Jose Mourinho In A Fairy Start For Manchester United FC
Jose' Thumbs Up His Lads
Jose Mourinho made a winning start as Manchester United manager as his side secured a deserved and comfortable 2-0 victory in their opening preseason match away at Wigan Athletic.
Substitute Will Keane scored the first goal of the Mourinho era, tapping in after a blunder by 41-year-old goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen in the 49th minute. Andreas Pereira, another man who had come on for the second half, then rifled in another goal 10 minutes later.
Two of United's summer signings made their debuts -- attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and defender Eric Bailly -- while Ed Woodward looked on from the stands. Mkhitaryan was the stand-out player in the first half, despite missing one excellent chance, while Bailly grew in confidence as the game went on.
