Alex Neil praised his Norwich City players for surviving the opening 30 minutes of their 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Norwich City manager Alex Neil says his side knew that surviving the first 30 minutes would be pivotal to beating Manchester United on Saturday.
Cameron Jerome and Alex Tettey scored from two quick counterattacks either side of halftime as Norwich triumphed 2-1 at Old Trafford, condemning Van Gaal's side to its third successive defeat.
Neil says he knew what to expect from the former Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach and was delighted with such a result against one of the Premier League's biggest clubs, having seen his side lose narrowly away to Chelsea and Manchester City this season.
