Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was happy with the clean sheet for their 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest.

Antony struck the first and created Diogo Dalot's goal for the win.

On his defenders, Ten Hag said: ''It was a very good performance from the defence. We said before, defending is with eleven players and how we do it but of course, the back four you pay a lot of attention to that.

"We defended really well to dominate the opponent and I counted one moment in the game on the counter where the defensive transition was really good. They really concentrated.

"The angles are not good if Harry (Maguire) is playing on the left side, it is difficult for him. But I think he is more capable on the right. Victor (Lindelof) can use both feet very good and I think he did a brilliant job in defence and in transition from (Brennan) Johnson. So that is why we prefer to do it with them in this way."
