According to him, his team was lucky to get to the halftime interval with a 1-0 lead after Chelsea squandered several opportunities to score in the first half as well as hitting the post on two occasions.
Tammy Abraham hit the post in the opening exchanges before hosts Manchester United took the lead from the spot on 18 minutes after goalscorer Marcus Rashford had been felled in the box.
Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri also hit the post in the first half.
Manchester United went on to score three second half goals through Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and substitute Daniel James to seal the impressive win.
