But he didn't expect to fall behind so early.
This made many of his arrangements ineffective.
Mourinho applauded lightly and gracefully, the goal just now was really beautiful.
Manchester United gave QPR a slap in the face at the beginning.
"Don't panic," Ricciardo said to the confused teammates, "against Manchester United, it is very difficult not to lose the ball. It doesn't matter if we lose the ball, we have to stick to our style of play, and sooner or later we can get it back."
