Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot insists they can be happy after their Europa League win at Omonia.

United managed to triumph 3-2 as the Cypriots pushed them all the way.

"[We made] very good subs, they made the difference today," Dalot said after full-time.

"I think what we want to build long term is a squad.

"We are not [just] 11 players, we have a lot more quality on the bench and this shows to the manager that they want to play as well which I think is perfect for us.

"We want more of this, it will give us more as a team and for the future I think it will benefit us."

Dalot acknowledged the challenge that he and his United team-mates faced on the evening from Omonia, strengthened further by a lively atmosphere from the home fans at the GSP Stadium.

"We knew we came to a tough place to play.

"I think we started well, the first 35 minutes [was] really good. After we conceded a goal, I think we could take a little bit more control.

"We conceded some counter-attacks and especially some corners that we should avoid. But I think at the end, [it was a] good reaction in the second half.

"We came with intensity, we tried to play as well and in the end, [we got] the three points, that's what we came here [for] and we go [home] happy."
