Mourinho basks in United's 'beautiful' response

Jose Mourinho lauded Manchester United's "beautiful football" after it overwhelmed West Ham 4-1 on Wednesday to set up a League Cup semifinal date with Hull City.

United is toiling in the Premier League, where a run of four consecutive home draws has contributed to its worst start to a top-flight campaign since 1989.

But it responded with some irresistible soccer against the Hammers at Old Trafford, advancing through a brace apiece from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial.
