Wagner proud of Huddersfield in Man Utd defeat

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner was proud of their performance in defeat to FA Cup opponents Manchester United.

United won 2-0 thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku.

Wagner said: "Disappointing result. I think Manchester United deserved to win because they scored two goals and we did not use our opportunities. The players were brilliant, they played well. They maybe controlled the game but two times top, top quality means you have lost the game. The boys have done very, very well.

"I am delighted about the whole performance over 90 minutes. The players never gave up, they always tried, we wanted to press them and be in their face. Nothing really went in our favour and Manchester United showed their quality in two situations.

"This is another game which gives the dressing room a lift. A great performance against Manchester United and we will always be focused on our performances. We are in a very good moment, even if we lost today.

"Next we have West Brom and we will try everything to perform like we have today. The biggest problem for the players is they have shown the performance bar that we like to confirm every single game."
