SEVEN VIEWS ON UNITED'S VICTORY OVER SPURS

ManUtd.com has gathered a selection of post-match quotes from the players, manager and social media after Manchester United’s crucial 1-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford.

It was a good day at the office for the Reds after Anthony Martial broke the deadlock in the 81st minute to secure three points against a tough Spurs team. The match winner joined his manager Jose Mourinho and his team-mates Nemanja Matic, Phil Jones and David De Gea in sharing their thoughts in post-match interviews with MUTV and Sky Sports.
Jose Mourinho: “The players gave everything. Every ball was like the most important one of their career, and the focus was there against a quality team.”
Anthony Martial: “The manager told me to find the space and I know Lukaku is good with his head so I found the space and I scored, so I am happy. I want to play, I don’t want to be on the bench, but Rashford played well too so the manager tried to give us all a chance and we have to score and give assists.”
Nemanja Matic: “It’s a very important win. Thanks to our supporters, they push us during 90 minutes, they support us and I hope that we will continue like this because it’s very important to win these types of games. As you know, we dropped points in the last game, we also drew at Liverpool so it’s very important to win at home especially.”
Phil Jones: “Anytime you keep a clean sheet it’s massive. We kept a few of them this season and it’s everyone, it’s not just the defenders, it’s everyone doing their job on the pitch and working as a team to stop the opponents scoring.”
David De Gea: “It was a really top game, a beautiful game. We scored with our chance, we are really happy, we defended really well, so we need to keep this up.”
Opposing view - Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "I feel disappointed because the game was even, the performance was good and the effort was fantastic. We must keep going."
Twitter view - ex-United defender Rio Ferdinand (@Rioferdy5): “Professional performance from @ManUtd today...back on track after blip last weekend! @RomeluLukaku9 & @AnthonyMartial combining again!”
