MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - There was no shortage of reasons for Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be smiling after Sunday's 2-0 derby win over Manchester City at Old Trafford -- and smile he did.
The victory over the champions completed United's first home and away Premier League double over City in a decade, moved Solskjaer's side up to fifth and extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games.
The Norwegian is not a man to engage in 'told you so' rants but, after beating arch-rivals City, he would have been justified in replying to those who wrote him off as a manager just a couple of months ago. "We feel we are improving all the time. We know we lack one, two, three players to be considered a title contender and some experience. We know that. We are just going to start talking about going up the table, getting more points," said Solskjaer.
"Eight in 10 and the two goals we conceded, one shouldn’t have been given," Solskjaer said with a grin before explaining what has gone right at the back."Luke Shaw has been absolutely top class, Aaron you can see his performance today and Brandon is not fazed by anything."
