Jose Mourinho: 'Manchester United are almost there'

Jose Mourinho believes that Manchester United are "almost there" in terms of reaching the Champions League knockout stages following their 4-1 win at CSKA Moscow.

Jose Mourinho has suggested that Manchester United are "almost there" in terms of reaching the Champions League knockout stages following a 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Wednesday night.

Romelu Lukaku scored a brace in the first half of the encounter at the VEB Arena, either side of an Anthony Martial penalty, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan added a fourth just after the break.

The Red Devils have established an early three-point lead at the top of Group A and Mourinho was quick to praise his side's performance and lack of "PlayStation football".

"We started so strong, we surprised them with our attitude. They didn't look as good as they are, because of us," he told BT Sport.

"Lukaku has a great record, we know he is a very good player who can score lots of goals. He is surrounded by quality players. I have to admit that he is scoring really important goals nearly every game.

"We are in a good position with four matches to play. We are almost there. There was not so much PlayStation football tonight, just a little bit of relaxation. That is normal."

Up next for Man United in the Champions League is a trip to Benfica on October 18.
