“It was an important win for us,” he told Sky Sports.
“Obviously, first half, we let them back in it before half-time and we go into the changing room frustrated and disappointed with the end to the first half.”

“Attacking with freedom,” Mount said.
“I thought some of the combinations going forward were crisp, were sharp and that’s what we can do.
“We know we can do that. It’s about us creating as many chances as we can as forward players and trying to get on the scoresheet.
“I thought going forward we were solid, and as a defence it’s about defending as a team and not letting them have any chances to get back into the game.”
United will now return to Premier League action at Old Trafford next Monday and the Red Devils will host Bournemouth for an 8pm kick-off time in the UK.
