LUTON winger Andros Townsend has praised Manchester United following his side's 1-0 defeat to them before the international break.<\/p>\n
Townsend said Manchester United's statistics do not tell the whole story this season and that they were a very difficult opponent to come up against.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
After a tough start to the season, Manchester United have rallied to four wins in five in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
They sit sixth in the table on 21 points, five points off Tottenham in fourth.<\/p>\n
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Townsend said: "They are difficult. We were able to defend against them well but similar to Liverpool they just find a way.<\/p>\n
"Bruno Fernandes drifts out to the outside left position, links up with Reguilon, they get a few crosses that way. Dalot comes into the midfield creating an overload and we did limit them to very few chances and defended well.<\/p>\n
