'It feels great' - Andre Onana lists three reasons why Manchester United beat Fulham

Andre Onana believes Manchester United showed "character, determination and patience" to win against Fulham.

United failed to record a shot on target in the first half at Craven Cottage but eventually found a breakthrough in the 78th minute thanks to a deflected shot from Lisandro Martinez.

Martinez tried his luck from the edge of the box and his effort struck Sasa Lukic before looping over Bernd Leno, who was unbale to make a save despite getting fingertips to the ball.

United defended bravely in the closing stages and Toby Collyer, who came on from the bench, made a goal-line clearance to ensure United recorded an important three points. The win also meant United secured back-to-back victories and it lifted the club to 12th in the Premier League table.

Onana kept a clean sheet and the goalkeeper spoke to MUTV to reflect on the team's gritty performance, which he thought was underpinned by determination away from home.

"It feels great, especially with the way we won," he said. "We didn't create many chances, but the most important thing is to win and we showed a lot of character, determination and patience.

"Like I always said, we win together, we lose together, bad moments will come and good moments will come. We have to stick together, it doesn’t matter what happens.

"It's very important to keep momentum, it's always about momentum. We have to follow it, win games and get confidence and we have to enjoy it because, at the end of the day, when things are going good everyone is happy. It’s what we want because we are Manchester United.

"We are under the obligation to give everything on the pitch. Hopefully this game was the turning point and from here we move on. We are in this together."
