"We are used to working in our style. We are playing with courage. We defended at Old Trafford man-to-man all the time. We kept the ball in every situation. We played the centre-back with the full-back and two in central midfield. We are building our season in this way."
"Football is nice because the small team can win in every moment. But while I think Brighton is not becoming a big, big team, [winning here] is not a surprise - the quality of the Brighton players is very high."
