Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team selection will leave him with a feeling of vindication after his side comfortably overturned Tottenham Hotspur away from home.
Solskjaer has been under intense scrutiny over the last week but the defeat against Liverpool provoked changes from the Norwegian, with a three-at-the-back formation preferred against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
Scott McTominay was colossal in the 90-minute affair and was picked out for special praise by the manager after the game, as seen below.

“We probably got a Man of the Match performance from Scott McTominay,” he said after the game. “I thought he was outstanding. He was, for me, unplayable.”
Solskjaer will be hoping to build on this performance on Tuesday as they make the trip to Bergamo, with Atalanta waiting in the wings for the replay of last week’s enthralling turnaround win at Old Trafford.
