Ronald Koeman "not surprised" by win over Manchester United

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman admits that he wasn't surprised by his team's 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has revealed that he wasn't surprised by his side's 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League.

The Saints claimed a slender three points at Old Trafford thanks to Dusan Tadic's second-half goal, with Koeman keen to stress that he knew his players were capable of matching Louis van Gaal's men.

"We know we have a strong team and that was important in the end of December," said Koeman, according to The Guardian.

"We got a point against Chelsea and the three points against Arsenal. That makes belief in the players. It is what you need if you are not a big club: belief in the players, not afraid of the name or the stadium.

"We learned that. I am not surprised we won today. We have organisation. We have 11 clean sheets in 21 games. If we keep the spirit and the organisation, we can keep in front in the table."

The victory has seen Southampton climb into third position in the league.
