"I had no doubt over taking the penalty. I know I missed that one [against Burnley] but I told him I won't make the same mistake this time. But now I have the confidence as well of the players, they let me take it as well, so I thank them for this as well and the manager let me take it as well. The most important thing is to put the ball in and that's what happened, so I'm happy."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, you have chosen Paul Pogba as your star man tonight. The Frenchman has topped our polls both on Twitter and in our official app after scoring two crucial goals in the first half which set the Reds on the way to a convincing victory in Bern. Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote and congratulations Paul!
"I don't think he can score goals every match but the first goal he scored today was not different than the fantastic save [Watford goalkeeper Ben] Foster made in the last match. So if he arrives in possible scoring positions, that can be a plus for the team."
"I'm happy. I can understand the reasons why we didn’t start well, why we took 25 minutes to be in control, I can see why Young Boys forced it a little in the beginning. They did the same against Dinamo Zagreb too. They know how difficult it is for opponents on this pitch, so they forced it a little and created problems. The goal changed this and then we were in control. It’s important to start with a victory."
"I think Diogo and Luke played very well – our danger came from both. They had fantastic movement, depth, crosses, assists, involved in the most dangerous actions and defended very well. Both played very well but of course Luke has been here for a few years, while it was Diogo’s first match for the club after knee surgery. I think it was a solid performance – you could see his potential. He’s a 19-year-old defender with more than 10 years to play for Manchester United."
"My team-mates helped me so much to make sure I’m prepared for this. I think it was good. I’m happy to make my debut and for the win, which is the most important thing. My team-mates helped me to be comfortable in the game and I’m so thankful for that. I think it was a good win tonight."
"He gets some stick sometimes but everyone knows what quality he has. For me, he’s one of the best midfielders in the world and he’s very important to our team as being captain. He shows it in the dressing room and tonight on the pitch what a leader he is. Long may that continue."
"Extremely difficult first 25-30 minutes, maybe the whole half. We didn't start brightly. In the last few games, we've started brightly but today we didn't. The pitch was difficult but we got to grips with it. Paul came up with a bit of magic for the first goal and obviously the penalty calmed us down a bit. "These games are always difficult because we’re the favourites in games like this. It’s always tough – the crowd, the pitch, the atmosphere, everything. They were really up for it today but thankfully we got the three points. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how we play, it’s about the points in these kind of competitions and we got them today."
"You couldn’t see that happening. They were all over us in the first 20-25 minutes. We were just getting going in the first half but in the second half we were brilliant."
