Well I'll be damned!
8 goals in two matches, now that is something I would never dare to even dream of before the season started.
I gotta say I enjoy how "cool" Mourinho is after that kind of trashings, and not going all crazy and hell, like in the first few games last seasons where he celebrated like he won the league after Zlatan scored a few times, instead this time around, he rarely looked like cracking a smile during these two games.
Far too early of course to say that Mourinho has permanently fixed United's goalscoring problems after just two matches in, but this have been probably the most exciting football I have seen a United team play, since maybe the 5-6 first games of the 2006-07 season where it seemed like every shoot/chance they created went in.
Sure it was "only" West Ham and Swansea, but the thing is, both of these teams have given Man Utd plenty of troubles, even during Fergie's last years, and the last time United went up against West Ham and Swansea, they only got 2 points out of 6, which meant they lost 4 and where very lucky to get 2.
Lukaku, Pogba and Martial scored again, Mkhitaryan looking like an absolute assist-machine at the moment, De Gea has almost "disappeared" where last few years he would be a certain favorite for "man of the match award and Phil Jones when he is not injuried looks like he will give Rojos and Lindelof one hell of a fight to get back into the first team, and was unlucky not to score in the first half.
