Season recap: Manchester United 1 Leicester 0

KEY QUOTES

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “There were many reasons why we needed a win today. For the boys, that they can see what we’re doing is the right way. I thought the first 20-25 minutes were excellent. Then, of course, we played against a good team as well and they made it hard for us and we made it hard for ourselves with some bad decisions. We were a little bit sloppy on the ball, but we had to defend and today is probably the first time this season, apart from some parts of the first half against Chelsea, that we’ve had to defend deep against a team that was pushing us, but I never felt under any real, real pressure. They didn’t create too many big chances in that second half, even though they had the ball.”

Marcus Rashford: “There has been a lot of talk [about penalties] but it is all about clearing that out of your head and just getting back down to basics. When it comes down to it, that is all you know, to get to the first team, it is by doing the basics and working hard. I just try to look at the keeper, especially a keeper like him because he has a good jump and likes to go early. If it is not hard and in the corner, then he has a chance of saving it. But it was a nice feeling to score.”
