The hard-working Reds earned a gritty and professional 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday night thanks to Paul Pogba’s goal, to move three points clear of champions Liverpool.
It was a performance stuffed with team spirit and there is a growing belief that this United side could win the title this season, although there is clearly a long way to go in the race just yet.
Fans are allowed to revel in the excitement of top spot, naturally, yet nobody at the club is getting carried away and Solskjaer is keen to nurture that mentality – knowing that consistency is key when challenging for the championship.
