在聯賽杯中大勝伯頓後，曼聯主帥穆里尼奧接受了賽後採訪。
「馬夏爾想要做些事情——有時候他踢得令人震驚地出色，有時候不那麼棒，但他一直在努力，承諾和樂趣在場上總是重要的。
「如果一項賽事是正式比賽，那就對曼聯很重要，對我作為教練也是如此。
「如果你問我英國足球沒有這項賽事會不會發展得更好？可能，可能我們會在參加歐戰時更有活力。但我們現在有這項賽事，我們必須要尊敬卡拉寶贊*商，我們們必須要尊敬對手，我們很多人努力做到最好。」
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho: 「Anthony Martial wanted to do things – some he did amazingly well, others not so well but he was always trying and that commitment and happiness on the pitch is always important.
「If the competition is an official competition then it is important for Manchester United and for me as a manager.
「If you ask me could the English football survive or even be better without this competition? Maybe, maybe we would be fresher for European competition for example. But we have this competition, we have to respect the sponsors, we have to respect the opponents and a lot of us are trying to do our best.」
