“Yes, he deserved those for the goal in the first half. I think it is not a foul from Scott McTominay. But I am very happy for Cavani for the second goal in the game and he is a good guy. He tries a lot and he runs for us. I am very happy today and we need to keep it going because we have more games this season. We need to keep it going.”

“First half we didn’t play well, but at half-time we talk a lot about the dressing room and in the second half we started the game well; playing well, playing more of the ball and playing side to side. We have this space in the game; we scored the first goal and it opened the space – more goals is very important for us and we need to keep it going.”
“Very happy about the goal. It’s my first goal this season. I know my job is not to score goals, but when I’m scoring goals I’m very happy. I need to keep it going to try and score more this season.”
"It's strange to see Fred in the box, I know! It's good to see, he has that energy, he was terrific. Paul [Pogba], Mason [Greenwood], and the boys who got the goals, Edi [Cavani], top, top drawer. I'm sure the manager will be pleased with a lot of players today." *Speaking to Sky Sports.
"Yeah [we were seething]. At the time, we can't accept that. For us, it was a total injustice as you say, but you've just got to get on with the game, we can't let that dampen the way we were playing towards the end of the first half." *Speaking to Sky Sports
"The message was clear from the manager: 'keep calm, there's no need to panic, we're only a goal down'. We've been in this position before, we know we've got good characters in the team, we have good players who want to take the ball against a really good team." *Speaking to Sky Sports.
