Solskjaer sets new club record after 1-0 win over Tottenham

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has emerged the first Manchester United manager in history to win consecutively his first six matches.

The Norwegian achieved this feat following their 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening.

Solskjaer was appointed interim manager, after the club sacked Jose Mourinho last December.

The 45-year-old took up the position after being given permission by Molde, although the club in his native Norway stressed they were only “lending” Solskjaer to United, indicating they expected him to return to his role as manager.

Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the match in the first half, latching onto a long pass from Paul Pogba, to finish past Hugo Lloris.

Spurs came out fighting in the second half, but could not find a way past an inspired David De Gea, who made an oustanding 11 saves at Wembley.
