Jesse Lingard scored twice as Manchester United celebrated its first match under the new coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a 5-1 victory at Cardiff in the Premier League on Saturday.
“Football is easy if you’ve got good players,” Solskjaer said. “They are a great bunch of players, and their quality is unbelievable.
“I arrived on Wednesday night and only had Thursday and Friday with the players. Wayne Rooney texted me and gave me some advice, so it must be down to him. He told me to make them play football, enjoy themselves and be Manchester United.”
Marcus Rashford needed only three minutes to give United the lead as he blasted home a free kick. Solskjaer, who spent nine months in charge of Cardiff when the Welsh club was relegated in 2014, was up off his seat again after 29 minutes when Ander Herrera’s deflected shot went in.
