Manchester United captain Ashley Young was pleased with victory over Leicester City.
United earned a 1-0 win at Old Trafford yesterday.
"When you play as a defender, you want to keep a clean sheet and hope the boys up the top can go and get the goals," said Young.
"On days you're not going to play well and you're going to win games. On days you're going to play well and not win games.
"There's going to be a balance and we just want to do the right things and keep applying ourselves the way we have this season.
"I think we have been unfortunate, especially at Southampton the other week. I think it was unfortunate against Crystal Palace as well.
"I think we're very close [to getting it right]. It wasn't a bad performance. I didn't think it was a bad performance.
"If we had gone on and got a second goal after we got the first then it would have been totally different.
"But, like I say, we had to show that resilience and that grit and that determination not to concede a goal and we done that today."
