Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lauded the attitude of his players following the 2-1 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Following losses to Brighton and Brentford, the Red Devils responded with an brilliant display to beat their arch-rivals.
It was ten Hag's first win as United boss and the Dutchman was delighted with the spirit shown by his squad.
Speaking to Sky Sports, ten Hag said: "We can talk about tactical but it is all about attitude. There was communication and a fighting spirit.
"I wanted a different approach and a different attitude and that is what they brought on the pitch. It is only a start. We can play with much more composure and much more danger. Be a team, and have a good spirit and that is what we saw today.
"It is not always about what I said. I said we have to act and not to talk a lot and make sure you are a team and battle and be brave and give each other options.
"It makes me happy that Rashford and Sancho got the goals. Fernandes took the responsibility and the captaincy encouraged him. He showed leadership with Varane. They made huge difference. It is not just them, we need more leaders. When you want to win you need leaders and the spirit we showed today.
"I am happy with the performance but we have to bring it every game. Don't just bring it against Liverpool. Every Premier League game is difficult, we need to bring it to every game. It starts, once again, with the spirit."
