Ole Gunner Solskjaer hails 'fantastic' Manchester United for their response to 'brutal' 6-1 defeat by Tottenham after admitting his stars 'were not in shape' before stunning PSG and RB Leipzig

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed the 'fantastic' response of his Manchester United players to their 6-1 thrashing by Tottenham - having admitted they 'weren't in shape' at the start of the season.

But they have responded in fine fashion, going four games unbeaten since including wins over Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig to take command of their Champions League group.
