Manchester United caretaker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer executed a 'Sir Alex Ferguson-like' tactical masterplan to secure a 1-0 victory over Spurs on Sunday.

That is according to former Red Devils midfielder Darren Fletcher.

It was Solskjaer's biggest and sixth consecutive win since taking over from Jose Mourinho. And Fletcher thinks the Norwegian displayed tactical nous that his mentor would have been proud of.

Fletcher told BBC Sport: "Solskjaer won [the battle with Pochettino] in the first half and I could tell by the way that he and the rest of his bench celebrated Marcus Rashford's goal together that it was down to the work they had done before the match.

"I recognise that reaction because I had Sir Alex Ferguson as a manager, so these things happened a lot during my time at United.

"Sir Alex knew how games would pan out because he would identify weaknesses in the opposition, and he knew how to exploit them.

"Solskjaer did the same at Wembley. He had a masterplan that came together, and ultimately it won United the game."
