Mourinho was watching the game and thinks Barca were not their usual stylish selves because of McTominay.I think United had one player that was responsible for that because I think Scott McTominay in midfield he was like what I used to call but when I use this expression its obviously in the total positive sense of the word.He was a mad dog. Afraid of nobody. Imposing his respect.Pressing really hard with a huge range of movement a huge area of pressing.Pressing higher and creating problems in Barcelona building up then really aggressive on the duels.”
