Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he told his players to just "be Manchester United" following advice from the club's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney.

Solskjaer has replaced Jose Mourinho as head coach of the Red Devils for the remainder of the 2018-19 campaign.

The club's former striker made the perfect start to his tenure with a 5-1 win over Cardiff City in the Premier League on Saturday.

After the match, the Norwegian revealed that he had been in contact with DC United attacker Rooney since arriving at Old Trafford and was given some advice to lift the mood at the club.

"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," Solskjaer told BT Sport.

Rooney, who is back in England following the end of the MLS season, also suggested that the mood in the entire United camp had been down in the latter stages of Mourinho's reign.

United will attempt to make it back-to-back Premier League wins when they welcome Huddersfield Town to Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
