Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wasn’t overly pleased with his side’s display against Derby County in the FA Cup on Thursday night, but he was delighted with the result.
The Red Devils secured a 3-0 win over Derby at the the Pride Park stadium to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, thanks to Odion Ighalo’s brace and Luke Shaw’s opener.
Speaking to BT Sport Solskjaer said: "When you win 3-0 you should think so [be a comfortable win] but there were some scary moments in there. Early on I didn't think we played particularly well but when you get two goals like we did that is pleasing."
On Shaw who broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute before Ighalo scored twice: "He is getting better and better and is in good form now. Left back or left centre back he has worked hard after injuries and deserves it."
On former Watford striker Ighalo's performance so far, the Norwegian said: "When you get strikers in you want them to be happy and confident. He has come in here and of course we still have a few injuries and it is great for us to have Odion to call upon. He is a different striker for us and scores some good goals, there are not many who could dig that one out for his first. We have a team of good players."
On Wayne Rooney, who came close to scoring via a free kick: "Everyone loves Wayne, all the supporters at Manchester United appreciate what he did. He played well. He shows class and sometimes he has too much time on the ball for my liking."
And, on Harry Maguire’s injury, Solskjaer replied: "Harry Maguire rolled over on his ankle. We hope so [that he will play against Manchester City in the derby at the weekend]. I wasn't going to rest him today but I think he will be OK."
