EspañolManchester United manager Michael Carrick speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm delighted with the win and the way we responded to a slow start. Credit to Palace, they started the game really sharply and bright. We showed that belief and personality and we finished the first half well. To overcome going a goal down so early, that was a new challenge for us. You have to do that at certain times, it has to be perfect."
On Bruno Fernandes scoring the penalty: "He takes responsibility, Dean Henderson has saved many penalties so it was a good duel. Fernandes always steps up, he would never do anything else. It was big with the red card and the penalty."
On Benjamin Sesko starting: "It's not a gamble. It wasn't that big of a decision. Benjamin is in a good place and he has had a major impact in recent weeks. He's learning what it feels like to play here and to score the winner today is fantastic. We are here to help and I'm sure that will continue. He is willing to do whatever that is."
On being third: "It doesn't mean an awful lot at the moment. It is nice and we want to keep progressing. We came back from the goal so early and responded."
On Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire going off: "They just weren't feeling too well so hopefully they will be feeling better soon."
