The 45-year-old took over earlier this week after Jose Mourinho was sacked on Tuesday following United's poor start to the Premier League season and saw his side stroll past the Bluebirds with plenty to spare.
The Cardiff City Stadium result is the first time United have scored five goals in the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge, and it keeps Solskjaer's side in sixth place.

GOAL! Huddersfield 1-3 Southampton (Michael Obafemi, 71 minutes)
A first Premier League goal for Michael Obafemi!
He had just squandered a good opportunity after being set free in a one-on-one, but on this occasion the young Irish striker receives the cut back from Nathan Redmond and makes no mistake with his finish.
A proud moment for Obafemi, and Southampton are surely now destined for a second consecutive Premier League win.
RED CARD! Lewis Dunk is sent off for a second bookable offence
Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton, 72 minutes
Callum Wilson gets beyond Lewis Dunk, the referee goes to his pocket and Lewis Dunk has no complaints as he trudges off the pitch and down the tunnel.
TEAM NEWS - Cardiff vs Manchester United
The team news is in from the Cardiff City Stadium:
GOAL! Bournemouth 2-0 Brighton (David Brooks, 77 minutes)
Two for David Brooks, two for Bournemouth - three points secured?
It is a lovely ball into the box by Ryan Fraser that is met brilliantly by Brooks leaping high, beating Mathew Ryan to double the Bournemouth lead.
About ten minutes left around the grounds.
Anyone for late drama...
GOAL! Manchester City 2-3 Crystal Palace (Kevin De Bruyne, 85 minutes)
From nowhere, Manchester City have a lifeline!
Kevin De Bruyne, off the bench, is trying to cross the ball but seems to overhit it.
However, that only takes the ball curling to the far post and it cannons in off the woodwork.
Perhaps?
GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Watford (Gerard Deulofeu, 87 minutes)
Watford have ended West Ham's winning run!
Gerard Deulofeu breaks free from the home defence after exchanging passes with Roberto Pereyra and beats Lukasz Fabianski with ease to secure a big away win for Watford.

Kevin De Bruyne cross, Gabriel Jesus is free...
No! He misses! What a chance. Is that it for Manchester City?
