Ole Gunnar Solskjaer delighted to pass San Siro test

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with victory at AC Milan and believes there is plenty more to come from super sub Paul Pogba after he fired Manchester United into the Europa League quarter-finals.

Having grabbed a stoppage-time leveller last week, the Rossoneri’s away goal gave them the upper hand heading into the second leg of this round of 16 clash and the Red Devils struggled at times in the first half.

Solskjaer brought on Pogba for the injured Marcus Rashford at the break and the United midfielder made a dream impact on his return from 40 days out with a thigh injury.

The 28-year-old smartly struck home at the near post after shaping to cross just three minutes after being introduced, securing a 1-0 win at San Siro and 2-1 aggregate triumph.

“When you win a game of football away from home in a stadium like this against a team like this, you’re very happy,” 1999 treble hero Solskjaer said.

“We started really well I felt. First 15-20 minutes I thought we looked like a very good team.

While United can look forward to Friday’s quarter-final draw, Milan boss Stefano Pioli was left rueing what could have been.

“We are disappointed because over the two legs we played like a great team and we could have scored in the first half,” he said.

“I think the team deserved to continue (in this competition), but we had to give it a little bit more. I don’t think we deserved to go out.

“Over the two legs, we did so much right, but the two goals we conceded were more down to our own errors – that’s what is disappointing.”
