But goals from Bruno Fernandes and Sabitzer
earned United a 3-1 win after Fulham's Willian and Mitrovic were
sent off.
"I think we played a good first half. We had some chances,
missed it. But after the half time, we came out and conceded a
goal and that is not what we wanted," Sabitzer told MUTV.
"So we know at this time it was going to be tough and hard. But,
we still believed it and we had good team spirit and mentality
that you can always see on the pitch.
"To be fair, I have to say to be two men down for Fulham, it
wasn't easy ... (we have) a good group of guys. You can see and
feel it in the dressing room, on the pitch, off the pitch. We
worked together, close. We stick together all the time."
Sabitzer, who joined on loan from Bayern Munich in January, said
scoring his first goal for United left him feeling
"overwhelmed".
"I was looking for it, scoring the first at Old Trafford in
front of these amazing fans," the Austrian added. "And that
important one, at 2-1 it was a massive one ..."
United, who are third in the Premier League, next travel to
fifth-placed Newcastle United on April 2.
