JOSE FRUSTRATED DESPITE FIRST-LEG WIN
United won 1-0 at Balaidos in the semi-final, first leg on Thursday courtesy of Marcus Rashford's impressive second-half free-kick, which deceived
Celta goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.
That came after the visitors had seen Sergio produce a stunning save from Rashford, while also denying Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard in huge scoring opportunities for the visitors prior to the break.
Although United hold the advantage going into next
Thursday's second leg at Old Trafford, Mourinho feels the tie could have been over had his side taken their chances.
"I am very pleased with the performance but not with
the result," the United manager told reporters after
the match.
"We played well enough to have. [the] result closed
but we have to go and play at Old Trafford.
"At half-time [it] should have been three or at least two, but the result is open."
Mourinho continued: "We tried to win the match. We missed chances but the team played well, they were compact against a team who are difficult to play against.
"Let's hope Old Trafford want us to win because when Old Trafford wants it, we win."
