Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes his team is approaching its best form.

The Red Devils have struggled in recent weeks in the Premier League.

But they got back to winning ways with a 4-0 thumping of Real Sociedad in the Europa League round of 32 first leg, which took place in Turin in Italy.

After the game, Solskjaer told reporters: "We spoke about it before the game that we need to be back to ourselves.

"Not more direct but attack quicker, see where there is a chance and we knew it was an away game, even if it was at a neutral venue, we knew the goals were going to count more for us.

"So why not take a risk, go forward, risk some balls in behind? We knew they would have a high line and not have the same pace as Marcus and Dan so we targeted those spaces.

"We just wanted to be back to ourselves again.

"The last few weeks, I don't know how you say it in English but it's been staccato, stop start and we've not really performed. It was about finding ourselves, being positive, having courage and running until you have to come off."
