Edmilson says Villarreal can be proud of their 0-0 draw at European champions Manchester United on Wednesday night.

"Old Trafford was a great result, playing away from home," said the Brazil international. "We went to Manchester with the right mentality and were able to succeed.

"The team is very strong at the back and despite not being the same as playing regularly last year, I think we were at the same level and we could keep the pace competitive.

"In the second-half, the entry of (Santi) Cazorla helped us a lot to have more possession and that helped us to stay calm."
