Man Utd boss Solskjaer pleased with Wan-Bissaka attack

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was happy to see Aaron Wan-Bissaka bombing forward against Newcastle United.

The United right back has been excellent defensively this season, but has seemed tentative going forward.

He was at his explosive best against the Magpies, getting an assist for Marcus Rashford's header that sealed the win for United.

Solskjaer told reporters after the game: "Aaron does have the quality to go forward and the energy and attitude to go up and down.

"It was great to see him put in the cross for Marcus as well because he was too tentative, maybe, early on.

"He was playing behind [Miguel] Almiron when I wanted him to go past Almiron.

"They were playing 5-3-2 so we needed to go high with the full-backs."
