Tino Livramento says Southampton's players were pleased with their 1-1 draw against Manchester United.
The match marked the former Chelsea starlet's home debut with Saints.
He later said, "It's a pleasure to play in front of these fans for the first time. When you first come out and they are chanting your name it's a special feeling. I'm happy I can show on the biggest stage. I've been doing it in my youth days at Chelsea and I'm happy.
"We knew it was going to be a battle. Man Utd are a massive club and have quality all over the pitch. We knew the way we could compete was by being physical and aggressive with the press and hitting them on the counter.
"I feel we could have won the game, maybe could have lost the game, but a draw is a fair result."
