Premier League 2017/18: Three things Manchester United did right against Bournemouth AFC

#3 Not parking the bus

Mourinho gave his side the freedom to express themselves on the pitch

The men under Mourinho were attacking from the outset on the day. Even the defenders were getting involved in the team's forward play and United created numerous chances for themselves in the first half of the game.

They did not park the bus even after scoring the first goal and continued to operate in an attacking fashion. This brand of football is generally not associated with Mourinho and his teams, but they did well to keep nagging at the Bournemouth defence from the very first whistle of the game.
