Manchester United defender Phil Jones admits they found their 1-0 win at Southampton a trying encounter.
Jones concedes they struggled after halftime.
He remarked: "lt felt like for the majority of the second half we couldn't seem to get out [of our half]. Then when we did get the ball we gave it away too cheaply which you know caused them to come straight back at us. It was just back and forth, like a yo-yo, like a basketball match for all the second half but we showed character, resilience and fight. We dug in and got the three points."
However, Ashley Young insisted: "Wins are better when they're four-nils. You don't have to run so much or defend so much but when you get that 1-0 win you just wait for the final whistle.
"We were digging deep and when the referee blew the whistle you could see how much it meant to everyone. It's a tough place to come, it is going to be tough for teams to come down here but we're delighted to get the three points and go home now."
