“They’re fit and they’re confident,” Solskjaer said. “When you’re confident it’s so much easier to go into the next one feeling that little bit sharper.

“We’re getting fitter and fitter the more games we have now.

“I’ve just been impressed by the attitude and the mentality of everyone.”

Man United starting XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Matic, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford, Martial
