The interim United boss, who was looking to make it nine wins out of nine since taking over, said his players needed to play with more tempo and urgency to break down a "well organised" Burnley side.

Smiling afterwards, Solskjaer said: "In the second half at times I thought we did fantastic but of course they have a good keeper, Tom's a good keeper and they headed the ball away when we crossed it."
