Solskjaer picks out three Man Utd stars for praise after Leicester win

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that his side could have done certain things better in their win over Leicester.

Marcus Rashford marked his 100th United appearance with the winner at Leicester as Solskjaer maintained his unbeaten record.

England international Rashford scored his eighth goal in 13 outings to earn a 1-0 victory at the King Power Stadium.

Solskjaer’s 10th game in charge brought a ninth win, with revived United not needing to leave third gear.

Paul Pogba and Rashford combined to seal another victory and the pair now have 12 goals under Solskjaer having struggled so badly under Jose Mourinho.

United are now just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

“Leicester got in a few dangerous positions, David de Gea made a few great saves and blocks,” Solskjaer told the BBC.

“We could have done better higher up the pitch in terms of defending but we deserved the three points I thought.

“David [de Gea] is very patient in his positioning and reads the game very well – he doesn’t gamble.

“That pass by Paul Pogba is great and the control by Marcus better. Football is a game of mistakes. Our lads, when we make mistakes, they were fighting for the ball and giving their all.”
