Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was very pleased with his team's effort against Southampton in the Premier League.

United played well for the entirety of the contest, but missed chances and gave up two set piece goals in the first half.

They responded in the second period, tightening up at the back and scoring three unanswered goals to win the game.

Solskjaer admitted he was proud of the team even if the result had stayed at 2-2.

He told the club's website: "I thought we were excellent; excellent pressing in the first half. Mason [Greenwood] when he gets the first chance, you can see we're at it.

"We were on the front foot; he just didn't take the chances. Sometimes that happens.

"Fantastic saves by [Alex] McCarthy, especially when Mason shoots and the rebound to Bruno [Fernandes] - what a save! That was a world-class save.

"Then again, we've done enough. I thought we played some fantastic football, created chances - we mush have had five clear-cut opportunities and they have [James] Ward-Prowse, you just can't stop him. You hope that you don't give set-plays away because he has that quality.

"It's one of them where you can't blame anyone. It's one of those that when you win, the mistakes we made don't really matter.

"At the end I was so proud at 2-2 because we did so well."
