Luton boss Rob Edwards issues Manchester United verdict following Old Trafford defeat

The Reds had spurned a whole host of chances prior to Lindelof's effort, meaning it was nothing more than they deserved.

"In the second half, I just was delighted with how the players played. We were brave with the ball. We have almost taken half the ball here at Old Trafford, which for us, it shows we are really growing and improving as a football club.
