Morgan Schneiderlin: "All respect to Watford"

Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has recognised the performance that Watford put in during their clash at Old Trafford tonight.

The hosting Red Devils won the encounter 1-0 thanks to Juan Mata's 83rd-minute strike, yet the scoreline would have had a much different look had Watford converted some of the 13 chances that they created.

After the final whistle, Frenchman Schneiderlin admitted that United had been part of a "demanding game".

"Happy to win such a demanding game. All respect to Watford who fought all the way," he wrote on Twitter.

Next up for United is a trip to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon.
