The club legend's succinct but challenging statement has worked wonders so far, after his Reds recorded a seventh straight win of the new era when defeating Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.

That 2-1 success at Old Trafford followed previous morale-boosting victories over Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town, Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Reading (in the Emirates FA Cup) and, of course, Tottenham Hotspur.

Herrera has made six appearances under Solskjaer and earned his praise at the weekend, when Ole admitted he has been a fan of the midfielder since watching him play at Old Trafford with Athletic Club in 2012.

In an interview for Saturday's edition of United Review, Ander admitted he has enjoyed his conversations with the manager and the positive vibe he is creating.

'Since the first day he arrived the message has been very clear: this is Manchester United and you have to show that you are Manchester United players,' Ander told the matchday programme.

'He asked us to show that, and that we want the ball even in the difficult moments in games. I think we have done that. Newcastle away, for example, is a really tough atmosphere, they are waiting every year for United to come so they can try to beat us, but I think the team reacted very well in the second half.'
