SAF:
"I wanted to give Diego a part as he has played a big part in recent games and Ruud had done his job.
"Strikers love to score and Diego's in fine form.
"It wasn't easy to leave him out in view of his form over the last few weeks.
"I wanted to give Diego a part as he has played a big part in recent games and Ruud had done his job. We've got big games coming up on Tuesday and Manchester City next Saturday in the derby, so it is a matter of just spreading the load.
"All credit to Villa for working so hard. They put us under pressure at times and I was looking for something better in the second half.

Pigface:
"They are all good footballing sides, that's the nice thing.
"When we went to Chelsea, when we went to Arsenal you could say we deserved more from those games but we didn't deserve anything today.
"My players are a wonderful bunch who try to do their best on the training ground.
"They are honest but against United we weren't good enough. I couldn't ask any more from them in terms of effort.
"It is going to be a long season; it's going to be a tough season. We just don't score enough goals.
"Manchester United have their own agenda. We have a different agenda and that is to survive.
"We gave poor goals away. They were very clinical around the goal, which is typical United.
"We were poor defensively and it was disappointing to lose two goals at the end."
