Jose Mourinho's playing style as Manchester United's coach has been harshly criticized by fans and club legends, but today his men managed to reach a milestone in club history.

The Red Devils fought their way back to win against CSKA thanks to goals by Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford. Those goals were scored with a two-minute difference between them, and helped the team extend their unbeaten streak at home to forty games.

40 – @ManUtd are unbeaten in their last 40 home games in all competitions - they’ve never had a longer run on their own ground before. Naughty.

Curiously enough, Mourinho's men will have the chance to get even against the last team to claim a victory at Old Trafford sooner than expected.

With these numbers, seems like some experts are looking at the bright side of Mouriho's accomplishments with the team.

I don’t think José Mourinho’s doing such a bad job.
