SAF:
"Our results have proved we have got a chance this year and it is good we have stayed with Chelsea early on.
"They have done fantastic to win the league so early in the last couple of seasons, but we have had a good start.
"I think January will be pivotal and we need to keep the injury situation low-key.
"I was really pleased with the guts we showed here and we worked really hard for the result.
"It's a hard place to come for any team.
"They had a few players out today - Steven Reid, Ryan Nelsen and Robbie Savage - but they were still very difficult to play against.
"A 1-0 victory is a very good one.
"I'm really pleased with the touch we showed and we worked really hard to get the result because we had to."
Hughesie:
"No complaints about the result, but I thought we put in a good effort and created a problem for them.
"I think United will go very close this year. They have a lot of pace and power in their team and I think they are more dynamic this season.
"They have also got really good movement in forward areas and I think they will go close, but I was pleased with our performance and if we continue to play like that we will win more than we lose this season."
