Rashford closed out a successful night in the Champions League by securing his hat-trick in the 92nd minute.
Speaking after the game, Solskjaer told BT Sport (via BBC Sport): “Marcus Rashford came in and did well, but the point guard was there from the team, that’s what you want from the substitutes. What a change they made. Leipzig is a high press, intensity, so we had to dig deep.
“We had to rest a few because the season is unforgiving, so we used the squad. This group is gathering. The more quality and spirit you have, the more performance you will get. “
Speaking about the young Greenwood, he said: “Mason was so efficient in front of goal. He is a great finisher and I am very satisfied with him. The moment of his career … it was a good pass from Paul Pogba. He wasn’t sure if it was on or off. There were some difficult calls from the referee, but today we were lucky. “
When asked about Dutchman van de Beek, Solskjaer replied: “Donny is a fantastic player and a fantastic boy. You see the work he does both on and off the ball. It covers the ground and is very smart with its movements. I am very satisfied.”
Their next game is against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
