Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the fitness of his players after Sunday's draw with Leeds United.

Marcelo Bielsa's side are notorious for running teams off the pitch with their impeccable endurance, but the Red Devils more than matched them in the goalless draw at Elland Road.

Speaking after the game, Solskjaer said: "When two teams meet, you create problems, you solve problems, the opposition gives you things to think about and I think also we made them adjust to us.

"Of course we had to adjust to them, because they are a unique team, but I thought we did that really well. We put a really big shift down and they worked hard.

"Normally you see Leeds in the second half running over teams, steamrollering teams, with their fitness and how strong they are.

"I thought my boys, or our boys, looked really strong, like athletes with desire and confidence. We just couldn't get the goal, unfortunately."
