KEY QUOTES
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “It was great to watch our players at times, it looked like they were more free to express themselves and the confidence grew more as the game went on. When they drop their shoulders and just play the way we know they can play, like they did today, they're a joy to watch. I think our attacking play is going to improve and improve - it's fantastic to have Anthony back. He's been missed for eight weeks and Dan [James] and Marcus have done really well over the last two months, while he's been away. Loads of attacking play has been through them. They stretch teams so much, it creates space for people like Andreas [Pereira]. I thought he was excellent today.”
Marcus Rashford: “I think the one thing we can improve on is making more clear-cut opportunities for each other. For me, that’s the next step. We’re creating and making each other half-chances, but, as forwards, the easier the goals you can get, the better. We want to be able to just square it past the goalkeeper and tap it in. We’ve been working hard and I think, if we keep that up, it’ll become easier for us.”
