Bastian Schweinsteiger delighted with "very important win"

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger describes the result away at Watford as a "very important win".

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has admitted that it was important that his side kept fighting until the final whistle after initially conceding a late equaliser against Watford.

Despite Troy Deeney netting a spot kick in the 87th minute, the Watford forward put through his own net just before the full-time whistle to hand United the three points, and Schweinsteiger has described the victory as "very important".

The 31-year-old told BT Sport: "In football you always have 90 to 93 minutes. You always have to believe. There was a bit of luck but we are happy to get the three points.

"You have to sniff a little bit of danger, the angle was not so easy but of course he touched the ball.

"The three points was very important for us. Next match we play Leicester, difficult, but if we win that too then we are happy in the Premier League."

The win moves United in front of leaders Manchester City and Arsenal ahead of the remainder of Saturday afternoon's fixtures.
