Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lavished praise on his Manchester United side after dumping Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup at Stamford Bridge.

After toiling away from Old Trafford for so long, United made it three wins on the bounce away from home in all competitions on a memorable night for Marcus Rashford.

On his 22nd birthday, the striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot – just days after missing from 12 yards out against Norwich – before netting one of the best goals of his career with a 30-yard free kick.

Before Sunday’s win over Norwich, United have failed to score more than one goal in a game since the opening day win over Chelsea in the league.

And Solskjaer believes his side have now turned a corner.

"We've travelled a lot in the last week. We've got a good team spirit and camaraderie. It shows the character of the team," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

"We get the games where we want them. We've been leading 1-0 in many games and not kicked on. Today we were excellent, with fast flowing flowing. That's Manchester United. We're trying to get back to that.

"Marcus has that strike in him. I've seen him in training so many times.”

Solskjaer also singled out 19-year-old Brandon Williams, who turned in another superb performance on the left.

The United boss continued: "When you give young lads the experience, like Brandon Williams got tonight - and the kid was outstanding - it's only going to help them. We know we're not the finished product, we're a work in progress and keep trying to improve."
