Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal on BBC Sport: "It was very important after the PSV Eindhoven game. I have to make a lot of compliments to my players.
"Anthony Martial is already special because we paid a lot of money for him. A lot of people are thinking he is a gerat star but he is a boy of 19. In three matches he has shown a lot.
"I am very happy with him but we and he have to keep our feet on the ground.
"That is why we were difficult in the transfer window. I have always said we wanted to keep David De Gea."

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman on Sky Sports: “The first 30 minutes we played perfectly, we had good organisation and they had difficulties breaking us. We lost it a bit 10 minutes before half time. In the second half, if you make that kind of mistake it is impossible.
"We lost belief. The reaction after 3-2 was good and we had enough chances but David De Gea made some good saves. We didn’t lose by Manchester United, we lost by ourselves.
“From Jose Fonte’s header it was a great save. From Victor Wanyama too but we know David De Gea is a good goalkeeper.
“We can play good football when we have control. It is all about belief. Making mistakes is a part of football but we have to continue. There have been a lot of changes in the game but we are still strong.”

Image source, Getty ImagesQuote MessageWe know in the Premier League it is never finished and have to be careful until the end. We were in control and it happened against Swansea and PSV. We need to learn quickly again. The manager reminded us this week that if we are leading and in control, then we have to keep our shape. It was strange to go into the away dressing room at the start but I had to stay focused.

"Southampton will be kicking themselves. I don't think they have asked enough questions of Manchester United. They showed near the end how suspect Manchester United can be but allowed them to dictate for long periods.
"It's probably just about right but Southampton will be kicking themselves they didn't get something out of this game."

United have to thank goalkeeper David De Gea who kept them in the game with some crucial save. That reported £200,000 a week contract is worth every penny at the moment.
As is the initial £36m fee paid for Anthony Martial. Two well-taken goals by the Frenchman today.
