Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard insists manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is no soft touch.

Solskjaer has enjoyed a positive start since replacing Jose Mourinho, winning all five of his matches in charge.

"He has got a hairdryer in him," said Lingard, who played under Solskjaer when he was reserve team manager at United.

"He will put his foot down and tell you how it is. That is what you need sometimes if a game is going well, you need a pick-me-up to remind yourself that you are a Man Utd player and you play with pride and passion.

"It's not all jokes and smiles. We work hard and that's what he wants. He wants 100 per cent from each player and everybody to know their job on gameday. We are clued up through the week on what we need to do."
