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.
Manchester United haven't lost in their last 40 home matches in all competitions, making it their longest ever unbeaten streak at Old Trafford!

With these numbers, seems like some experts are looking at the bright side of Mouriho's accomplishments with the team.
Manchester United top their Champions League group with 15 points, their highest total since 2007/08.

In the Premier League title race with the chance to close the gap this weekend.
40 games unbeaten at Old Trafford.
I don’t think José Mourinho’s doing such a bad job.
