Rashford found the net on the stroke of half-time after an inch-perfect crossfield ball from Paul Pogba, while some superb David De Gea saves and spirited defending resulted in a sixth successive success under Solskjaer.
This is what the Norwegian had to say to MUTV, Sky Sports and other reporters after the game...
OUR TACTICAL PLAN WORKED
“We attacked quickly with pace. Obviously, the goal was fantastically taken by Rashford, but you know the defensive job Jesse [Lingard] did and the pass from Paul [Pogba] is half the goal. The goal is why I put Anthony [Martial] and Rashford wide of Jesse because Jesse is more of a link player and he can drop in whereas Rash and Anthony are more direct towards goal and that is why we put that plan in place and it worked.
