Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was pleased with his performance last night, but of course says that the feeling could have been better if we had come away with a win.

With Manuel Almunia sidelined and concerns raised as to the fitness of Lukasz Fabianski, the youngster was thrown in at the deep end at Old Trafford.

The Pole also insisted that he would be looking to grab any opportunity that comes his way in regards to opportunities to play in the first team.

Szczesny said: "I am a reserve goalkeeper at the moment so I need to take every chance I get and this was a massive chance for me.

"I felt that for my debut I did well enough. Unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to get any points but this is my big chance and I need to take it.

"It was a disappointing result, but we won't get too down. We are still very confident.

"We believe if we recover on Saturday and put in the right performance against Stoke we could easily get three points and be back in the title race straight away.

"That is what the manager told us afterwards; he just tried to get us to focus on the match on Saturday.

"This game is gone. The team performance was quite good, but we just didn't get as much luck as United.

"We are still confident we are the top side in the Premier League. Manchester United are beatable. Everyone is.

"The Premier League is very tight this year. They do have a solid back four, I will admit that, but they are beatable."
