Mark Hughes taunts Manchester United and Louis van Gaal after Boxing Day win

STOKE CITY manager Mark Hughes has described his side's 2-0 win over Manchester United as "reasonably comfortable".

 

Mark Hughes was delighted with his Stoke players

 

The Potters took the lead through Bojan after a terrible mistake by Memphis Depay and Marko Arnautovic doubled the lead with a thunderous strike from outside the box.

The defeat leaves United boss Louis van Gaal under severe pressure but Hughes was delighted with his players.

He told BBC Sport: "In the first half the intensity of our play was similar to our win over Manchester City. 

"We took our chances with two good finishes and we were terrific.

"At 2-0 down we could take in a lot of pressure from them, you always worry when you miss chances to make it 3-0 but we were reasonably comfortable."
