London: Manchester United stretched their unbeaten run to 11 games in all competitions with a 3-1 Premier League home win over Sunderland but their coach Jose Mourinho was not entirely happy with Monday's performance at a festive Old Trafford.

United survived several scares in an end-to-end opening period before Dutch defender Daley Blind fired them ahead with a powerful 39th-minute strike for his first goal of the season.

"I didn't like the first half performance. I like the result," Mourinho said after late strikes from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sealed his team's win.
