“It’s a perfect night for me. I scored and the team won. So it’s been a great night for me and United,” he told Sky Sports at the final whistle.
“It’s always important to win away from home. Both teams played well, but I think the result is a fair one because we did better.
“Red is my colour and I want to win for United. I said before the game that Sporting Lisbon is my second home and I feel a little bit sad [that they lost], but the most important thing is United. They are my team and I’m very happy with the victory.”
