Man Utd midfielder Amrabat proud of performance in victory over Chelsea

Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat was delighted being part of their win against Chelsea.

Amrabat produced his best performance in a United shirt on the night.

"Everyone was disappointed after we lost [against Newcastle], but I think that was the best answer we could give," Amrabat told MUTV.

"I'm happy because we won the game, which is the most important, and I tried to help the team. It's normal my start was a bit difficult. I don't like to give excuses, but I didn't have a pre-season, so that's difficult for every player I think.

"I started with an injury and normally you need some time to adapt, but there was no time, the team needed me, so I had to jump in immediately and I'm a fighter, I will never say no when the manager needs me.

"The Premier League is the strongest league in the world, but I'm happy, step by step, every day, I'm stronger and better. So I'm happy we won the game and I played quite good, but there's still a lot of things to do better and I have more to offer.

"We have amazing fans and they deserve the best. We are Manchester United and you need to win every game, so we'll work very hard to make them happy.

"We have to kill the games earlier and we had so many chances, but we defended very well so it was good. The fans pushed us from the first second to the last second and I think this is the way they want us to play, with high intensity, high pressing, energy and I think that's United. Hopefully, we can continue like this."
