9月28日凌晨曼聯4-1戰勝莫斯科中央陸軍，賽後紅魔主帥穆里尼奧接受BT體育採訪稱讚了球隊的表現。
穆里尼奧表示：「我們的開局很強勢，我們的態度震懾了對手，他們沒有展現出自己的實力，這是因為我們。」
「盧卡庫完成了了不起的工作，我們都知道他是一位很好的球員，能取得許多的進球。他身邊還有許多高水平的球員，我承認他幾乎每場比賽都會打入重要的進球。現在我們處在一個有利的位置，還有四場比賽要踢。」
「我們就要接近目標了，今天晚上球隊沒有踢太多的實況足球，就是有一點放鬆，這很正常。」
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said his side are "almost" in the Champions League knockout stages after thrashing CSKA Moscow in Russia.
Romelu Lukaku scored twice, Anthony Martial netted a penalty and Henrikh Mkhitaryan hit the fourth as the Red Devils maintained their 100% record in Group A.
The Old Trafford side had won just one of their previous 10 away games in the competition, but two goals in the opening 18 minutes set up a very comfortable night at the VEB Arena.
"The important thing is two matches, six points and a good position in the Champions League," said Mourinho, whose side beat Basel 3-0 in their opening game.
"Four more matches to play but we started really strongly and we are almost there.
"I think we surprised them with our attitude and we were really strong, and we killed the game. They did not look as good as they are but I think that was because of us."
Lukaku has now scored 10 goals in nine games since joining United from Everton in the summer.
"I have to admit he is scoring really important goals almost every game," said Mourinho.
"We know that he is a very good player, he can score lots of goals, and playing in a team surrounded by quality players it is even easier to do that."
Four minutes in the Belgian striker headed in a cross from Martial, who went from provider to goalscorer by converting a penalty after Mkhitaryan was brought down.
And, in the city in which their third and most recent European Cup triumph came in 2008, United effectively ended the game as a contest on 26 minutes.
Aided by some dreadful defending from the home side, Lukaku slotted in his second from a couple of yards out.
Mkhitaryan added the fourth from close range and United could have scored more - Lukaku was twice denied by brilliant stops from Igor Akinfeev, who also thwarted Jesse Lingard.
Lukaku said: "I just work hard and will keep on going. The team is doing well but we must improve. I just want to win trophies."
CSKA did have chances, with the excellent David de Gea twice saving sharply from Alan Dzagoev and tipping over a Fedor Chalov shot.
And Konstantin Kuchaev slid in a well-taken consolation late on to give the boisterous home fans something to cheer.
In the group's other game, former Norwich striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored a penalty as Basel trounced 10-man Benfica 5-0.
