Manchester United reserves coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted to see some of his top youngsters contribute to this week's Carling Cup victory over Middlesbrough.

"On Tuesday I was very proud of Danny Welbeck, Ben Amos, Rafael Da Silva and Rodrigo Possebon," Solskjaer told the Manchester Evening News. "They showed the character and temperament to handle playing in front of a 50,000-plus crowd at Old Trafford.

"We teach them good habits and I have been delighted that when some of them have gone off to train with the first team, I have been getting good reports back from the manager, Mick Phelan and Rene Meulensteen about them."
