“I’m happy that our strikers are in good condition, tonight Anthony was man of the match, every chance he had went in.
“Let’s see in the future what he can do for us. But I’m happy for him. Congratulations to him.”
Matic also produced an impressive performance alongside Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in midfield as United kept their Champions League bid on track.
Fernandes and Pogba started together for the first time for United, who extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches in all competitions, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men fifth in the table – two points behind Chelsea and six adrift of stuttering third-placed Leicester City.
Matic said: “I think it’s always good play with top players. Not only them, we’re lucky we have top players in every position.
“So tonight I played with Bruno and Paul, I think we did well, it was good there, I’m sure in the future we can improve a lot together, and also with Scott [McTominay] and Fred, whoever plays with us; I’m happy with the team performance and the way we controlled the game.
“I think we had control during all 90 minutes, of course we knew they were going to have some dangerous counter-attacks because tactically they play well.
“We analysed them very well, we treated them with respect, I’m so happy with the team performance, 3-0 against a team who creates problems for every team in the Premier League.”
