Man United were 'in control from the beginning' against Northampton, says Mourinho

Jose Mourinho was pleased to see some positive signs from his players as Manchester United ended a three-match losing streak and set up a mouth-watering EFL Cup clash with rivals Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side condemned the Portuguese to his first competitive loss at the Old Trafford helm on September 10, and that result was quickly compounded by losing at Feyenoord in the Europa League and defeat to Watford in the Premier League.
