? Tells reporters: "He's on fire, the Yak"
? Refuses to criticise fans who have abused him
Blackburn manager Steve Kean praised his young side after their shock 3-2 win at Manchester United ? but refused to use the result to criticise the Rovers' fans who have hurled abuse at him for most of this season.
When asked if he felt vindicated by the victory, Kean said: "Of course," before insisting that "the fans and the owners all want the same thing" and hailing his team's "massive" result.
This result's massive," he said. " To come here with such a young side and win it can be a real springboard for us to go and kick on."
"The young lads are starting to grow up very quickly and today they did very well," he said. "We've learned our lessons after losing a late lead against Sunderland. We've been tried to pass our way up the pitch rather than lashing it out, and you saw that especially in the second half.
"It was tricky out there on the pitch. It was soft. It was a very physical pitch and our lads' legs were heavy. We can build on this for the next match against Stoke.
Kean reserved particularly praise for Yakubu, who scored twice in the win. "He's on fire, the Yak," he said. "Our fans our loving him now. If you give him service he's certainly a goalscorer.
"It's great to win in a place at a place like Old Trafford, especially with such a young side," he added. "It's a springboard for us to kick on."
Yakubu, meanwhile, was full of praise for his manager. "Look at the way we played today. We fought for each other, we gave everything," he said. "Give credit to the manager, he was under pressure coming here to Old Trafford and to get three points."
Kean said: "Kean added on ESPN: "We got a very good point at Anfield and considering we have such a very young team the lads are growing up."
Kean has put his faith in younger players, with several who played in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool and today's win over United having come through the club's youth system.
