Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is pleased with how his team defended against AC Milan in the Europa League.

The Red Devils had to grind out a difficult 1-0 away win to progress into the quarter finals.

United drew the home leg 1-1, progressing 2-1 on aggregate thanks to a Paul Pogba winning goal in the second leg.

Asked about his team's defending, Solskjaer told reporters: "You give yourself a chance to win a game of football [with clean sheets]. Dean [Henderson] had a fantastic save towards the end from the big lad [Zlatan Ibrahimovic] and I'm very pleased with everyone's defending.

"From the front you see Dan James, Mason [Greenwood], Marcus [Rashford] and Bruno [Fernandes] – the front four all pressing like they did.

"We always know that the back six, with Scott [McTominay] and Fred and the back four, always give everything."

The Red Devils find out their opponents for the last eight on Friday.
