EPL: Lukaku reveals what Mourinho told Man United players at halftime of 2-1 win over Watford

Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku has revealed what Jose Mourinho told his team at half-time during the 2-1 victory over Watford.

Mourinho’s men scored two goals in three minutes in the first half to inflict a first defeat of the season on Watford.

Lukaku scored the first goal for United, diverting an Ashley Young cross home with his chest, before Chris Smalling’s impressive volley made it 2-0.

Andre Gray reduced Watford’s deficit with a crisp strike past David De Gea midway through the second half but United held on for the victory, despite Nemanja Matic’s late red card.

“The manager said to us we were playing well but not great, he made us humble at half time,’ Lukaku told BT Sport after the win.

“We ground the result out, that’s what we need to do, to catch the teams above us. Credit to Watford. We were too sloppy but it’s another win and we have to keep going.

“We had a few good runs from Lingard, Sanchez and myself, I scored, Chris [Smalling] scored, we had to try and score a third but we were sloppy, we have to look again at the images.”
