​Solskjaer heaps praise on Man Utd duo Cavani, van de Beek | OneFootball

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was full of praise for duo Edinson Cavani and Donny van de Beek.

Neither has been a regular starter for United this season since arriving in the summer.

But both got the nod against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League and did not disappoint. United won the game 4-1 at home.

"The two are getting used to how we want them to play - Donny can play in different positions and Edinson is a good old fashioned number nine and we haven't had that for a while and I was happy with how Anthony [Martial] played off the left," Solskjaer told BT Sport.

"I felt first half we saw the intent straight away, they wanted to play and they enjoyed it. It's a Champions League night at Old Trafford, you'd expect them to enjoy themselves. We scored some very nice goals, I'm pleased.

"We need one point, but of course we want to be top of the group but we'll take it one game at a time."
