Following Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Everton, Marc Skinner said: “The wind played a part for both teams. I felt we did enough to win the game but it wasn’t going to be a landslide, I thought Everton were really good. I’m happy with the three points and another clean sheet. It’s a good start.”

Following today’s 1-0 win over Leicester, Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall said: “We had to manage our expectations today. If you want to win the league you do that mostly with dominant performances. But sometimes you have to find other ways to win in a season.”
