EPL: Solskjaer reveals secret to defeating Leeds 6-2

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has hailed his side’s 6-2 win over Leeds United, saying it is one for the history books.

Sunday’s fixture at Old Trafford, was the first meeting between the two rivals in the Premier League since 2004.

Solskjaer’s side asserted their dominance right from the beginning.

Scott McTominay scored two goals inside three minutes to set United on their way to victory.

They eventually went on to record their highest-scoring win since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson.

“That was fantastic from the first minute,” Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

“We had a plan to get after them, go forwards when we had the ball and Scott McTominay got two goals in the first three minutes!

“We found a way of getting them going. Just imagine if there were 75,000 people in, it would have gone down in history as one of the great performances against Leeds.

“We had to earn the right by running as much as them, that’s a challenge. It could have been 12-4! It’s that kind of game.

“I enjoyed it, it was frantic, hectic. No matter what the score is they have a certain attitude or style, if they are 5-0 up or down.”
