The midfielder scored his first goal for the Red Devils on Sunday

Marcel Sabitzer says that team spirit powered Manchester United to their FA Cup quarter-final comeback win over Fulham on Sunday.

Fulham looked comfortable heading for their first FA Cup semi-final appearance since 2002 after Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring in the 50th minute, but goals from Bruno Fernandes and Sabitzer earned United a 3-1 win Willian and Mitrovic were sent off.

“I think we played a good first half. We had some chances, missed it. But after the half time, we came out and conceded a goal and that is not what we wanted,” Sabitzer told MUTV.

“After the goal we still believed and we had good team spirit and mentality that you can always see on the pitch. Sabitzer, who joined on loan from Bayern Munich in January, said scoring his first goal for United left him feeling “overwhelmed”.
