'The table does not really matter at the moment' - Solskjaer plays down Man Utd progress

The Red Devils have been slowly creeping up the league in recent weeks, but their manager is not getting carried away

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is paying no attention to the Premier League table and is simply focusing on results despite a 3-1 win over Brighton lifting Manchester United up to seventh.

Goals from Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford and a Davy Propper own goal earned United the points at Old Trafford, their fifth win in six games in all competitions.

It was the club’s biggest win since the 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea on the opening day of the season and also the first time they have scored three goals in successive games since March, following their 3-0 win over Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday.
