Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag chose to give credit to two of his experienced stalwarts.
The Red Devils had to battle hard to defeat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground in the FA Cup.
After the game on Wednesday, Ten Hag praised Raphael Varane and Bruno Fernandes for playing despite not being 100% fit.
"It's not easy, especially in the back four," said Ten Hag at his press conference.
"We have serious problems. I was very happy Rapha fought to play this game and also Bruno. He had a very bad injury as well. He fought to be part of this game. I'm very pleased for him, how important he is and to have an assist on the goal of Casemiro."
On Bruno needing painkilling injections, he added: "I don't go into that because also you saw Forest were targeting him. So I don't go to tell what it was but it was a serious injury. When you see that maybe they criticize him on social media, it's pathetic. It can't be.
"He has a serious injury, he continued to play on Saturday and now also he fought to be part of this game. He has a very high pain threshold. Last year, he also did something similar. He showed his leadership, expresses his character and it's very good when you are a leader."
