Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner to BBC Sport after the 4-0 win over Manchester United: "I think the first-half performance wasn't our top level. We gave them too many passes. It was an open game in the first half but we were efficient.

"We didn't give them any space in defence [after the break]. Second half was really good but first half we could do better. But the score was amazing.

"It was the fourth game in a row where the other team didn't have 10 shots. This is what we want to do to control the game with a compact defensive shape.

"We know when we get our players in dangerous areas they are able to score goals.

"We will always be very critical and look at what we can improve.

"Stay humble. Focus on the details. We struggled with defensive set-plays. They could have scored one or two. We always look at what we can improve."

On Jean-Philippe Mateta's form: "He can play better than he did today. He lost too many balls but he has his confidence in scoring. Maybe we have an advantage in our pace. It's nothing we taught him."

On if star players could leave: "It's the job of the club to keep all the players. I know they'll try everything possible. You never know how your squad will look when the next season starts. They're amazing players, this is an amazing group."
