But boss Solskjaer was still bemoaning the fact his team did not become the first side in Premier League history to score double figures in a single game.

He said: “It could have been 12-4, it was that kind of game.

“It was fantastic from the first minute. We had a plan to get after them, and Scott got two goals in the first three minutes.

“Just imagine if there were 75,000 people in, it would have gone down in history as one of the great performanc­es against Leeds.

“I’m seeing more and more of a Manchester United team that I like.

“It was frantic, hectic and now we are getting fitter and stronger.

He is a physical monster – he can win it in the air, he wins the tackle,ckle, tackle, hehe’s he’s s so strong. He is an attacking tt ki midfielder idfi ld by nature, so when he sees space in front of him, why stop him?”
