Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer is happy with his strong backline as they continue to impress.

The Reds defence were brilliant against the Hammers last night after keeping the out from finding the back of the net.

Ole have credited his coaching staff for their work have they have set certain defensive rules for the players that have paid off with only AC Milan breaching the backline in the last six outing.

“We have had four clean sheets now in the league, straight up and that is always a foundation,” the boss told reporters.

“You have to defend well to keep clean sheets in the Premier League. We have also scored more goals this season than last season, so we are improving as an attacking team as well.

“But the attitude of everyone doing the work that Kieran [McKenna] and Michael [Carrick] are doing, the work on the training ground and in the meeting rooms is absolutely spot on.

“The details the coaches give the players, they listen, they look. We want to attack teams and attack them by defending really high, we want to be on the front foot defensively.

“It takes a lot of energy to do that but modern football requires that.”
