All round a good win against a Manchester United side who clearly have one eye on the Europa League.
"Football changes. You have different challenges in your career". I've tried to help the team on and off the pitch and tried to help us win. Just that. Apart from that, I can not demand more from players that didn't play one minute of football in the last seven weeks. Realistically, it's going to be hard to do it through the league so this is the chance for us to do it but also to win a trophy.
Mourinho's caution earned him criticism from those United followers who believed he should have been more ambitious and gone all out for the victory at The Emirates which could have still given the team hope on two fronts.
"The most important thing is to be in the Champions League next season; I have no doubt for this club it is very important to be in the Champions League", the midfielder said.
"This season I haven't played as much as I would have liked to. Between fourth, fifth and sixth the difference is just to qualify for the Champions League but no trophy, no title, no honour, no prestige - nothing at all". "I hope Old T afford feels the same, because we need Old Trafford".
"It's a massive chance to get to the final", he told reporters.
"My focus is on trying to help us win this competition and that's my sole focus", he said.

The Spaniard has expressed his desire to win to not only reach a final but to erase memories of his famous corner at Liverpool by eliminating Jose Mourinho's men. When you go with everything against Tottenham it's hard. "We have to concentrate on winning the trophy".
"Arsenal fans are happy and I'm happy for them", said Mourinho, whose side had been unbeaten in 25 league games. It means their chances of sneaking into the top four would appear increasingly remote.
He said: "In terms of motivation, we are even".
"And because we go with everything on Thursday and we can not go with everything against Tottenham".
"We are giving everything we can, the players, myself, everyone that works around here".
"I think [Wayne] Rooney, [Michael] Carrick, [Ashley] Young are this group of English boys with a long time in the club [to have won titles] plus Mata [as part of another club] but most have not done it before. But overall, we look a bit more stable [since switching formations]". What matters is the next one.
