Watch Postecoglou's full reaction here

Mainoo's future as a 10?

Ruben Amorim praises Kobbie Mainoo’s performance tonight in the number 10 role as “really good” and says he was much more free, with less defensive responsibility.

Amorim on half-time double change

“Of course, Garnacho has a different pace and is more like a winger. Amad is really good one-v-one and he can push players to open more space. It was good work from everybody,” Amorim told TNT Sports.

“We want to improve a lot with the way we play. We want to play closer than today, but we need to play like this.

“We have to adapt to improve the team.

“We have to recover the players. We are going to sleep here and to recover in the morning.”

Mikey Moore can be an 'outstanding talent'

Postecoglou: “He started the game well but probably had a struggle after that. But he’s 17 and that’s just part of his growth.

“Getting a goal I’m sure will get him confidence. He’s been good for us in this competition.

“He’s got all the attributes to be an outstanding talent for us.”

Postecoglou: The team has grown so much

“The young players, the growth in our whole group, is going to be enormous.

“But right now it’s about addressing the issues we have at hand.”

Postecoglou on the links to Mathys Tel: “I can’t tell you anything about Tel mate. I’ve been focused on getting the team ready tonight. There’s other people working in the background.”

Postecoglou worried about Dragusin injury

Postecoglou admits he is concerned about the injury which forced Dragusin off. “Unfortunately Radu has hurt his knee now. I don’t have any further information but it didn’t look good as he was coming off.”

On Son, Bentancur and Van de Ven coming off at half-time: “The three at half-time were all planned. All three are okay. We’ve got a big week coming up.”

 

Postecoglou: A great night for the club

Ange Postecoglou says it is a “great night for the club and the academy” after three youngsters in Scarlett, Ajayi and Moore scored.

FULL TIME - United win 2-0

A good evening for United who beat FCSB 2-0.

They lacked creativity in the first half but improved after bringing on Garnacho and Amad at half-time, and secure the win thanks to goals from Dalot and Mainoo.

They are straight through to the round of 16, and have gone unbeaten in the league stage.

Ajayi's first-ever Tottenham goal
