Manchester United picked up a much-needed win at Old Trafford last night thanks to a Real Sociedad own-goal in the first-half.
The Red Devils are now top of their Champions League group and the 1-0 win last night puts them in the drivers seat for qualification into the knockout rounds.
Here is some reaction from the match.
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney:
“We should have won the game by three, four or five goals. But I’m happy we got the win which was most important after Saturday. We played some great stuff and defended well. A clean sheet is always pleasing but the three points were the main thing tonight.
“We got an early goal. We could have gone in at half-time 2-0 up and the game would have been more comfortable for us.
“But we didn’t and started the second half a bit slow.”
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney on Sir Alex Ferguson’s new book:
“He’s come back and corrected the story that I put a transfer request in … he’s gone back and proven that I didn’t. He’s obviously got his own opinion. I’ve not seen him since he retired and I’m happy under the new management. The other stuff doesn’t concern me. That’s the past, I’m looking to the future now.
“The new coaches have come in and it feels like a new lease of life. We are working to be successful as a team. We have a lot of players who are hungry. Results haven’t been what we want, but we’re working to put that right.”
Manchester United manager David Moyes:
“Yes [I was frustrated] because we had it on Saturday in a Premier League game when we lost a late goal. If we had scored five or six today it wouldn’t would have looked out of place.
“I’m concerned we gave away couple of free kicks on the edge of the box.”
On Wayne Rooney’s performance:
“He was absolutely terrific tonight, I was shouting at him in the last five minutes though. We just want a top player like Wayne to play well. I said from day one that his training was great. I think England have seen that. But we need to see it all the time.”
