Morgan Schneiderlin felt Manchester United were calm and composed despite conceding an early goal to Wolfsburg on Wednesday night.

Daniel Caligiuri stunned the Old Trafford crowd with a fourth-minute effort in the Group B Champions League clash but United were able to fight back for a much-needed 2-1 win.

Goals from Juan Mata and Chris Smalling either side of the break contributed to the victory, which has the Red Devils sitting on three points after two matches, following the defeat at PSV Eindhoven a fortnight ago and midfielder Schneiderlin was full of praise with how his teammates conducted themselves after the early setback.

"It was very important, we knew it was a must-win after the PSV Eindhoven result and that is what we did," Morgan told MUTV.

"We're happy with the win, but we fought hard until the end because the last 20 minutes were very hard when Wolfsburg gave everything, but we kept the score.

"We knew Wolfsburg is a great team with great players. We were aware of that and we conceded a goal, but we kept our composure and I think we had many chances in the first half to level the score and that is what we did. In the second half we quickly went 2-1 up. After that Wolfsburg put everything at us and that was hard for us, but we got the win and that is the most important thing.

"Yeah it was a big game and a game where I and we can improve. It was a big game against a big team from Europe and we are very happy to play in this stage of football and we want to go through to keep our dream alive. We want to see how far we can go. If we can keep this team spirit and if we keep improving like we have done since the start of the season, then why not?"
