Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised his squad after a battling win over Fulham in the Premier League.

United had to dig deep and come from behind at Craven Cottage to earn a 2-1 success.

Paul Pogba scored the winner in the second half, after Edinson Cavani had equalized for United following Ademola Lookman's opener.

Asked about the importance of the result, Solskjaer told reporters: "Oh, they're massive [three points], they are.

"You know, when you count the points at the end of the season, you look back and say that was a tight game and this was a tight game.

"It gives so much confidence and a morale boost as well to get three points instead of a draw.

"Easily towards the end it could have been [a draw], because they've created chances, David [De Gea]'s made a fantastic save with his feet but we should have finished the game off before then."
