Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has hailed his team following their 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in Saturday's Premier League clash at The Hawthorns.

In-form striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice for the Red Devils as they moved to within four points of second-placed Liverpool in the table.

Mourinho called his side's display "very good" and also paid tribute to the performance of Ibrahimovic, who has now netted 11 goals in 16 league appearances this season.

"That was very good. We played really well at Crystal Palace and today, even better. We were always in control against a very difficult team. We could have scored the second goal earlier, but we still showed our maturity and consistency, and we defended well. I'm very happy," Mourinho told BT Sport.

"I keep saying that for me it is not [Ibrahimovic's] body, for me it is more up here [points to head]. It is a pleasure to see him play, his happiness. It's fantastic for a 35-year-old guy."

Next up for Man United is a home game against Sunderland on December 26.
