Gary Neville feels the last week has been a very positive one for Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho's side have beaten Chelsea and Burnley 2-0 in the Premier League while qualifying for the Europa League semi-final by beating Anderlecht 2-1 on Thursday.

Following Sunday's win at Turf Moor, former captain Neville spoke highly of the professionalism United have shown in recent times which has set them up for a top-four finish and potential success in Europe.

"I think this game had danger written all over it, with Burnley's home record and Manchester United playing 120 minutes in midweek," he said on the Gary Neville Podcast.

"And the distraction of the bad injuries to Rojo and Ibrahimovic. If before the game you told me it would unfold like that, I would have been surprised.

"It can always happen but I thought Burnley would have good energy and it would have been a very difficult day.

"From a Manchester United point of view, the two performances in the league are probably the best I've seen them home and away. In terms of professionalism definitely, they were really comfortable and managed the game well.

"It's been a good week for Jose Mourinho. The walls are converging for United in both competitions and they can't rest because they've got a chance in both."
