Manchester United news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Red Devils were far from their best against Leicester
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects more from his players following Manchester Uniteds narrow 1-0 victory at Leicester.Marcus Rashford marked his 100^thPremier League appearance with an early goal, but the Red Devils were far from their best and perhaps a little fortunate to claim all three points.The hosts enjoyed the greater share of goalscoring opportunities, and Solskjaer admits his side can defend better despite the clean sheet.Im very pleased with the three points, but we know we can do better, he told talkSPORT.2

Marcus Rashford can’t stop scoring

We started the game fantastically. I felt we couldve controlled it better in the second-half, but Leicester are a good side, they put us under pressure and we defended really well inside our box.We couldve been better as a defensive unit further up the pitch, but we blocked, we sacrificed our bodies, our keeper saved us.Solskjaer now has 22 points from a possible 24 as his incredible start to life as interim boss continued at the King Power Stadium. And it was Rashford and Paul Pogba who combined for the winner once again, with the latter playing a superb lofted ball over the top before the striker slammed it home.They are quality players and it was a quality goal, Solskjaer added.The quality of the pass was brilliant and the assured finish is great to see. He never doubted himself and thats what you want to see as a striker.2

Solskjaer heaped praise on Rashford

When Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho, the top four appeared to be well out of Uniteds reach this season, yet they now sit just two points off fourth-place Chelsea.Solskjaer continued: Its not easy, every single game in the Premier League is hard and the players have worked hard for these results.The attitude has been spot on. When youve got the quality theyve got and the talent, when theyve got this attitude, its nice to be a coach.
