Manchester United captain Patrice Evra hailed their young players for victory over Tottenham.
Evra captained the Reds to a 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night and was the oldest player in Sir Alex's starting XI by almost four years. His fellow defenders clocked in at just 19, 21 and 23 years of age.
"Don't say that, don't say that!" he joked afterwards when asked how it felt to be "the old man" of the team, before going on to praise his young team-mates.
"I'm really happy with the performance. The young players deserve this and you have to give them a lot of credit. A lot of people talk about the Academy and they showed tonight [what they can do]. It's amazing. In the Community Shield, against West Brom the boss is not afraid to play young players.
"They have such composure. They want to prove to the manager that they are ready to play on the team. It's good for us because we need some energy and they have that. I'm not surprised because they played well during pre-season and they are all confident."
