Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with his NOISY bench for Manchester United's victory over Aston Villa.

The United manager says his on-field players could hear the support of his substitutes throughout the 2-1 win.

He said, "We are improving and getting closer to the top and we are gelling more and more as a team. The culture in the group is getting better. You listen to the subs tonight - I know we miss our fans - but they are our fans. They are supporting their team-mates."

The manager also said: "Towards the end you see the celebrations; that win means a lot. We should have played out the game and managed the game better towards the end though.

"But, a defender's job sometimes is to clear it from the line or block it. We did that."
