MORE FROM SOLSKJAER
“This was a proper game of football, with fans, tackles, yellow cards and chances, I enjoyed it. We know that when we defend well we have players that can win us the game, the spirit in the camp is really good, winning gives energy and gives you a boost for the next game and we’re in the semi’s just one step away from the final.”
REACTION FROM SOLSKJAER
“Very good start, first 20-25 minutes I thought we were excellent should have been 1,20r 3 up but Olsen made a few good saves and kept them in the game and they had a good spell just before half time but I felt second half we dominated.”
MORE FROM ANCELOTTI
“They had more control and better quality we know this and so the game was planned to defend well, we had some but not a lot of opportunities on the counter but that was the game we planned. We don’t need to have regrets because the team performed, they sacrificed, they worked hard with good spirit, we lost and we look forward to the next game.”
REACTION FROM ANCELOTTI
“No regrets for the performance, we defended well, we had a difficult start but after 20 minutes the game was under control, we didn’t play attacking football but we needed to defend, until the last three minutes we defended well.”
MORE FROM MAGUIRE
“We play for Manchester United, we’re expected to win trophies we got to the semi finals last year, this year we’ve reach our first semi final in our first competition, we need to start winning the big games and go on to lift trophies for this club.”
REACTION FROM MAGUIRE
He told Sky Sports: ‘ I thought it was an excellent performance, we started the game really well and had 3/4 great chances and needed to be a little bit more clinical but we kept going and digging in and knew the chance would come and Edinson has put a great finish in and we managed to seal the win and go through to the next round.”
