Solskjaer 'very happy' with Man Utd performance against AZ Alkmaar

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was "very happy" with his players despite Manchester United's goalless draw with AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday.

The Red Devils did not manage a shot on goal in Holland and David De Gea was forced into a couple of good saves by the hosts.

But Solskjaer believes his side played well and picked up a valuable point away from home.

He told BT Sport: "Very happy with the boys. We came away with a good performance, it should have been three points of course because it's a nailed-on penalty. You can't even discuss it.

"It's a team who have beaten Feyenoord 3-0 away from home. This is a good performance and a good point against a good opponent on a bad surface.

"If you get your draws away from home and win the home games, you'll be fine."
