Norwich City boss Daniel Farke praised the performance of Adam Idah in defeat at Manchester United.

Farke handed a first Premier League start to 18-year-old Idah and he praised the young striker after he was thrown in at the deep end.

“It was difficult for him in front of 70,000 people to be there with his first appearance in a Premier League starting line-up. Sometimes, you have to jump in the water.

“We got the feeling it was his chance because we have several injured strikers. Teemu Pukki and Josip Drmic will come back in the next days and it was a diffuclt situation.

“We backed him and he worked a lot. I was pleased with his workload and I didn't expect any miracles from him."
