'It should have been more' - What Man Utd boss said after breezing past Sheffield United

The Blades, without two members of their back three and their regular goalkeeper Dean Henderson, made a more assured start than in either of their two games prior to this clash, but were rocked when Anthony Martial opened the scoring after just seven minutes.

The Frenchman added a second just before half-time, before completing his hat-trick with a dinked finish over Simon Moore in the second half.

And Solskjær said afterwards: "At times it was very, very good football.

"We could and should have scored more goals to put the game to bed before half-time.

"It's always worrying going into half-time knowing you should have scored goals but the way we controlled the game, pressed and stopped them playing... I am very happy with it.

"But there is still more to come and we shouldn't be 100 per cent happy with it."

Bruno Fernandes, Solskjær's £67m midfielder, was excellent after being paired in midfield with Paul Pogba, making his first start since September.

"I thought we controlled the game," Solskjær added.

"Paul and Bruno showed some quality and it's exciting for us to be working with talent like this.

"Paul is still a bit away from his best form. That's natural because it's his first start since September. He's been working hard.

"Now it is a case of keep on working, onto the next one."
