“It's a brilliant position to be in. Of course we know we’re going to the champions, they’ve had an unbelievable three-and-a-half seasons so we know that’s going to be a difficult game for us but we’re ready for it. I think we couldn’t have asked for a better time to play them, because we’re in good shape, in good form, we're hungry – that’s the big thing, these boys are hungry. They want to get better and that’s a test again, a test of character and a test of quality.”

[E.S.]

Ole says patience was needed with Pogba

“I’ve always said Paul is a big, big player for us. He’s a good character in the dressing room, he’s always one that the lads look to, he’s a world champion of course and we’re seeing the best of Paul at the moment. I feel he is getting better and better for every game. He’s been injured and he’s had COVID and it’s just natural that he needed some time to get fit.”

[E.S.]

Ole felt United exploited the opportunities they had seen pre-game v Burnley

“Burnley are so well organised and there are not many spaces, but we did look at some of the spaces. It was a great cross, a very well-executed finish. Then we could have had one or two more goals to calm the nerves towards the end, but we just like to do it the hard way.”

[E.S.]

Ole is asked about the VAR decisions v Burnley

“You had to be calm, and not be too emotionally attached because you can argue every single decision. And the goal that Harry scored was perfectly good, it should never have been disallowed of course but there's nothing we can do about it when he's made up his mind. At half-time, it was very important for us that we settled our grievances. I know the emotions were running high and the players disagreed with some of the decisions that were made out there, so it was our job to calm them down and focus on the things we can control and we did that. We knew that we weren't going to get anything for free, we were going to have to earn it and we did, we played really well in the second half. You expect the onslaught in the last few minutes, but we were both lucky and good. We held out.”

“I’ve not watched any of them so I can’t really say. It might have been a foul by Luke apparently, so then that’s probably a right decision because it’s in the same phase of attack. It was definitely not a foul by Harry for his goal. If you can’t jump and head it in like this... I don’t believe that’s anywhere near a foul. Apart from that, we started playing after the five-minute stop with the red card [check] and the foul by Luke, so I was delighted with the response after a tough first half-hour.”

[E.S.]

Ole does love three points

“When you get three points in the Premier League, it always makes you smile. It was a hard-fought three points though, it always is up here.” “We've had a knack of getting the result over the line. And even though it could have been more comfortable at the end, because I thought we played really well in the second half and we should have had a second or third goal, still you can see the spirit and how much it means to the boys when we defended that ball at the end. Luke sticks his head in, the ball flies and it's like pinball in there, and it's one of those where you breathe a sigh of relief after when it's over.”

“It is [big] and you know even for us and the fans it is great, but there is a long way to go. So, now we are there and we need to stay there. Now is the difficult part as well. Today was a difficult game and it’s going to be harder and harder.

“Today proved that we are really focused. That’s how we improve, that’s how we get better. Our heads are focused on the league and we need to keep it up and keep going.”

“It was a goal for sure. I don’t know, he just jumped before [the defender], he headed, it was a beautiful goal and then the referee decided that [it was a foul]. It was a strange decision, but we got the result that we wanted so we’re happy.”

“It was a great ball and I had the feeling to just go and shoot and it went in,”

“I volleyed it and it touched someone and went in. Sometimes, that’s the perfect goal, the perfect moment; the perfect pass makes the perfect goal. The shot wasn’t the best but it went in. I’m really happy; I’m really happy with the performance. Everyone kept the focus and we were good defensively. The performance was great.”

“We knew it would be difficult, we knew it. Always when you come here, you know it’s going to be a war.

“You need to keep calm and we did this. It was very hard in the first half and then in the second half we came out with the good mentality and we got the goal. We got the result that we wanted.”

"It's an emotional game, football, but we have to understand the players when they celebrate, but we also understand the concern nowadays for a bit of less emotion and less hugging.

"But it's difficult, I have to say. Football brings out the best and the worst in you. When you score you want to celebrate with your teammates. We'll do our best to keep with the guidelines because we all want football to carry on safely.

"Mentally, for people it's a relief but we understand the situation the country is in."

“Yeah, Paul in the last couple of games, he [has] showed a maturity,”

“He showed exactly the way he needs to play. If he continues to play in this way… He is one of the best midfielders in the world. On the pitch he will show exactly what is his potential and that he can be the leader. Yeah, he needs to use what he has in legs [and] in his head.

“I don’t want to say too much more about him, I don’t want him to feel too much big [headed]! He is fantastic, as I said, he needs to go game by game. The next one is the most important.”

“We played 17 games [and] we are top of the table. That shows something,”

“We didn’t play five or six games and you can say maybe it’s lucky. But after 17 games, definitely it is not lucky, definitely there is quality. But we cannot relax, we need to be concentrated until the end – to go game by game. In football, the next one is always important; the next one is the biggest final, and we will see.”

Matic feels planning and patience helped MUFC beat Burnley

“Sometimes [in the past] we looked like a team who wants to score as soon as possible, then we get panicked [if we don't score]. I think we showed today more maturity.

“In our team we have lots of quality, and in these types of games you have to use that. You have to be patient and not to panic because when you have that much quality, during 90 minutes one moment will decide [the outcome].

“We showed that we are more clever and on this pitch, in this stadium against Burnley, it is always hard to win these games,”

“Not to concede a goal from the long balls and set-pieces – we prepared the game well and I think that we deserved these three points.

“[We] say before the game when we had [the] meeting that it was going to be exactly what happened tonight. During the game you have to adapt to their way of the game and to cope with that situation. I think that we did great.

“On the other side, we had some good spells with our football where we played and created some chances. If you see all the game, I think everyone has to be happy and now to forget is quick, and focus on the next one.”
