Manchester United U21 coach Warren Joyce was pleased with Ashley Fletcher's performance for victory over Southampton.

The striker struck his first goal at that level.

"Fletcher has had to bide his time," explained Joyce to MUTV. "A little bit like Paddy [McNair] last year really. He has done a lot of work in the mornings and afternoons to try to develop himself, so you're pleased he's got his rewards.

"I'd have been pleased if he'd have got the header in early doors as it's one area we are working particularly hard on to improve. I think he has developed it a little bit over the season but he has still got a lot more to come. There is also a lot more to come even in his body because he's not fully developed yet."
