Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Manchester United's 3-1 win against Brighton as their best performance of the season.

United's win, which took them to within a point of the top five in the Premier League, came courtesy of goals from Andreas Pereira and Marcus Rashford and a Davy Propper own goal.

The victory was all the more impressive given that Solskjaer fielded the youngest starting line-up seen in the Premier League this season - an average age of 23 years and 350 days.

At the end of a week in which they also beat Partizan Belgrade, the mood around United has improved markedly.
