Watford boss Xisco happy with his players in Man Utd defeat

Watford boss Xisco praised his players after their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

Scott McTominay struck the only goal of the game.

Xisco said afterwards, "We played a very good team but our team had a perfect performance and we need to continue.

"When you come to these places it is perfect, it is like a dream. Now is a difficult moment for everyone with Covid and it is difficult to come here and not see the fans.

"I told the players they gave everything. It was our style - they played with high intensity. We have had a little time together but you can see I have improved the guys."
