“Brilliant position to be in. Of course we know we’re going to the champions, they’ve had an unbelievable three and a half seasons so we know that’s going to be a difficult game for us but we’re ready for it. I think we couldn’t have asked for a better time to play them, because we’re in good shape, good form, hungry – that’s the big thing, these boys are hungry. They want to get better and that’s a test again, a test of character and a test of quality.”
“It was a great ball and I had the feeling to go and I just shot it and it went in. I volleyed it and it touched someone and went in. Sometimes, that’s the perfect goal, the perfect moment; the perfect pass makes the perfect goal. The shot wasn’t the best but it went in. I’m really happy; I’m really happy with the performance. Everyone kept the focus and we were good defensively. The performance was great.”
“You see so many players who take their eye off the ball it goes off their toe or into the floor. If it hadn’t taken a deflection Pope may have saved it, but Pogba deserved that with his second-half performance.”
“It’s a sign of United’s mentality at the moment and that the players kept going. When you play a side like Burnley you have to work so hard to create chances, but the performance shows the players’ belief and confidence at the moment. Those 1-0 wins are how you win titles and trophies.”
“I thought it was a really good performance tonight. The lads worked so hard and it was a great second half. They stepped up the play and created a few chances and could have even scored more. It was a thoroughly deserved three points. It got to a point with 10 minutes left and I was worried they could knick something, but they didn’t. Some excellent defending from our boys and Eric Bailly was magnificent.”
