Premise: Those are the thoughts of BBC Sport pundit Danny Murphy. United got back to winning ways yesterday when they beat Tottenham 1-0 at Old Trafford. Anthony Martial proved to be the difference between the two sides, and United remain second in the table. Mourinho was criticised for his negative tactics a fortnight ago when the Red Devils were held to a goalless draw at Anfield. In general, the Portuguese tactician has been questioned over the way he sets up his sides against the top teams.
Hypothesis: The BBC Sport Pundit knew what he was talking about.
