Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was happy with their 2-0 FA Cup win at Yeovil Town.
Yeovil are bottom of Sky Bet League 1 but United needed superb second-half goals from Ander Herrera and substitute Angel Di Maria to end their resistance and claim a 2-0 victory from a performance which failed to hit the heights at Huish Park.
"People think it's easy because these players are from Manchester United but it's not like that," Van Gaal said after his players had been frustrated by Yeovil's high-intensity pressing game.
"We played for the Netherlands against teams who were much more expensive in the world championship.
"When you can organise your team like the manager of Yeovil Town and they believe in it, you cannot do a lot.
"But I'm very happy we have won and I'm very happy we have survived this festive period because I don't have a big selection.
"I have a lot of injuries so I could not change much and, in spite of that, we have regained ground to Chelsea by one point and we are in the fourth round of the FA Cup. What can a manager wish more?"
