Erik ten Hag was a happy man after Man United managed to grind their way to a 1-0 win over Luton Town.
He told BBC Match of the Day after the game: "It is a good day. We needed the win and we got it but we could make life more easy by scoring early on and getting a second. We created the chances but we didn't score apart from one.
"I am happy with that and I am happy with the clean sheet. We had many chances before half time and you should net one of them. After half time, get the second and then the game is gone.
"Now you keep them alive and they can get an equaliser from balls dropping in the wrong place. It would be better for composure, for the calmness, for the manager, the coaches and the team if we score early on, but if you don't you have to keep going.
"I have to compliment the team that they kept going, kept organised and didn't give anything away."
The Red Devils have moved up to sixth place in the Premier League for the time being with the slender win.
