Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted he can count on Edinson Cavani.

Cavani struck in victory at Tottenham on Saturday.

Solskjaer was asked to expand on his statement about the no.21's inspirational training session at Carrington in the lead up.

“It's just as we said: we needed a reaction," said Solskjaer to the club's website.

“He stood up to the plate with his experience and being a top professional. You cannot let a game of football punish you too much. You have to step up again.

“You can't feel sorry for yourself. You have to do everything properly. It doesn't matter if you win 5-0 or lose 5-0, you have to come in the next day and do absolutely everything right. There was no sulking. He just came in with the determination to prove we'll rise again. That's what we do."
