Jose Mourinho hailed Marouane Fellaini as 10-man Manchester United's main weapon in denying Watford a fifth successive Premier League win.
Fellaini was involved in both of United's goals from set pieces at Vicarage Road and repeatedly tracked back to help centre backs Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who has divided opinion during his time at United, was pivotal in this performance and Mourinho wanted to point out his talent afterwards.

'We made defensive mistakes against Brighton and Tottenham,' the United manager said.
