“We’ve just got to keep together, focus on the next one and get a few wins and then the good times will come back.”
“It wasn’t just the Tranmere people who wanted an upset, there were a lot of others,”
“You can see everyone wanted us to fail but it doesn’t bother me. I can’t be up and down [emotionally]. I’m happy but won’t relax.”
“I think the players, the way they went about the game on that pitch. We played football the way it should be played and it was an exceptional performance at times because that pitch was very, very difficult to play on.”

Solskajer’s men have a massive week ahead of them and they’ll be hoping to carrying some momentum from this afternoon into crucial clashes against Manchester City and Wolves.
