Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to Sky Sports: "Excellent. In the first six or seven minutes we let them have too much of the ball. But the experience came through. It was the oldest team Iโve picked for Manchester United and it was time for it.
"Iโve been here three years as manager and Tuesdayโs training performnace by Edinson Cavani is the best performance anyone has put into a training session here. The old men led from the front.
"They play well together. They have loads of respect for each other. The work-rate and quality they put in is second to none.
"The [players] play for the club no matter what. Itโs not about me. Itโs about us improving as a group."

"I think the first one was probably the better goal on my weaker foot - it was a good finish," he told BBC Sport.
"We knew coming here would be a tough game. We had to break them down and it took a lot of time.
"A lot has happened with their club since the start of the season so you never knew what their approach would be like when things are new."

Vinicius Junior got two goals against the 10-man hosts, who managed a consolation goal from Pere Milla late on.
Ramsdale: I was saving everything thrown at me
Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was proud to have played a key role in the 2-0 win at Leicester.
He pulled off a stunning save to deny James Maddison's free-kick and made some crucial interventions.
"Thankfully it was one of those afternoons that I contributed," he said to BT Sport. "We should have had a few more clean sheets [this season] but I'm happy with this one.
"Maddison is a top free-kick taker and I've come up against him a couple of times. It was just one of those days that I was saving everything that was thrown at me and the lads were blocking [the rest of] them."
Why is Mount missing for Chelsea?
Tuchel wasn't expecting Mount's absence today: "He should have started but he got ill overnight and so we sent him home to London so that we can take care of him better and that he can recover better.โ https://t.co/3JnNDNrMEh
