"It almost broke my heart when Alexis missed the penalty, but the important thing is that he scored the goal and it really killed the game."
"Alexis was the difference. He was unbelievably good, he was outstanding. We pick three nominees for the Man of the Match award and he can have all three."
"The arrival of Alexis has inspired the rest of the squad. His move here has enhanced the competition for places and he was excellent today."
It was a good finish from Lukaku and great pressure by Matic, a good recovery of the ball, a good cross and then, of course, good movement and a good finish. For the second goal, it almost broke my heart when Alexis missed the penalty, but the important thing is that he scored the goal and it really killed the game.
I think we had around 80 per cent of ball possession in the first half but no goal. In the second half we had a little bit more intensity, we recovered the ball higher and faster, and then first goal came. Even at 1-0, I felt the game was over because we were so much in control.

The fourth official's board goes up to indicate a minimum of three minutes of added time.
84 MINS
Late opportunity for United to make it three. Rashford and Martial work well to pick out Alexis in the box. Huddersfield defend well and see out the attack.
81 MINS
Huddersfield are looking for a consolation goal as we approach the final five minutes. United's defence remains sharp, and our lead remains intact.
