Sunderland 0-0 Manchester United: What Le Bris said

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We probably created enough chances to win the game, but chances don't always mean goals. When we got the momentum and the chances, we weren't clinical enough.

"The Premier League is very demanding so when you don't score, you are always on the edge. But, overall, I think the lads did well.

"We have many young lads so it is about experience and maturity, I think, in terms of finishing chances off. For example, Noah [Sadiki]'s one in the first half was brilliant, but it wasn't the usual situation for him so he wasn't so confident, but I think it's going to be a good platform for the future."

On getting a clean sheet: "It was important to be back to our foundations. Over the past two weeks, the boys were excellent during our training sessions. They were committed with a strong togetherness, and we are always hard to beat when we have this mindset. I think it's a positive for our future as well.

"We were well-prepared for this game. We know that every team has many game changes in this league, especially Manchester United, so if you're not alert then they will punish you. From the last game at home, it was tough but the experience was useful."

On finding a solution to replace Dan Ballard: "We aren't a big group but the core of this group is really good. We have versatility and the ability to adapt. We also showed that even if we need to change our backline, we can be strong."

On being frustrated with only getting a draw: "It is a good sign, especially for our first year in the Premier League after eight years. It's good, it shows our season has been excellent so far. If we're disappointed at home after a draw against Manchester United, it is a good sign for the club."
