Louis van Gaal praised Man Utd's spirt after they secured a late win against Watford
LOUIS VAN GAAL praised Manchester United's spirt after the Red Devils snatched a last gasp win against Watford at Vicarge Road.
 
Troy Deeney's late penalty looked to have snatched a point for the Hornets after Memphis Depay's early opener.
But the Watford captain bundled in a Bastian Schweinsteiger cross moments later to give United all three points.
The win means United are now unbeaten in eight in all competitions and moves Van Gaal's side to the top of the Premier League table.
 
And after the game the United manager praised his side for not giving up.
He said: “I was amazed by the spirit in our team. I’m very proud that I am the manager of the team.
“We are fighting for the first position in the league. We are closer every week but the end is the most important."
