Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has declared himself ‘very, very happy’ with Manchester United’s performance in 3-1 win at West Ham.
United were extremely poor in the first half, which saw the Hammers take a deserved lead through Tomas Soucek.
Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes came off the bench at halftime before second-half goals from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Rashford saw United rally to snatch all three points.
Solskjaer admitted that his team had not played well before the break, but was delighted with the response afterward.
He said Sky sports: “At the end of the season, you don’t care about performance.
For now, we know that there are things that we need to improve, especially the quality in the first half, some simple passes, some simple touches that we have not performed as well as we should.
But again in the second half, something of that quality came back, as shown by the three goals. All of them were absolutely exceptional. “

Solskjaer also credited the Hammers for how they started the game.
He said: “We are playing against a team that has attracted City, they have beaten Leicester, Wolves, they have attracted Tottenham, they are a good team and they make it difficult for you.
“They are very compact, they are aggressive, the pressure is very good, one of the best in the league, how compact they are winning the ball from you, so I am very, very satisfied with the performance.”
The United manager added with a smile: “Last week we were 2-0 down at Southampton and this was a step up, we were only 1-0 down.”
