Ralf Rangnick was pleased to see a reaction from Manchester United in the win over FA Cup win over Aston Villa.
The Red Devils bounced back from a loss to Wolves by reaching the FA Cup fourth-round.
"I think we showed a reaction after the Wolves game, that is what everyone expected from us," Rangnick said.
"We knew it would be very difficult against Villa. In the first half I thought we did well. It could have been 3-2 or 4-3 to us at half time.
"In the second half we were on the counter attack and we could have made more of those situations. We took the wrong decisions at times but when we changed to a diamond in midfield we had more control.
"In the last 20 minutes we had more control. We fought well as a team together when it was important. In the end it was a good win. That was our goal, to proceed to the next round."
