Bolton boss Lennon impressed by Man Utd of old

Bolton manager Neil Lennon admits to being captivated by Manchester United on Sunday.

The Celtic great watched on with great enthusiasm as Louis van Gaal's side defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield to cement themselves in fourth spot on the Premier League table.

The Red Devils had Juan Mata to thank for a match-winning double while Steven Gerrard's red card early in the second half also played a part according to Lennon.

"United were really impressive in the first-half," Lennon told BBC Sport.

"I thought they controlled the game like the United of old. The sending off in the second-half disrupted their rhythm a bit, but I think they can be immensely proud of the way they played."
