Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskajer was pleased for Dean Henderson after their 2-0 win at Manchester City.

Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in just the second minute with a penalty and an impressive Luke Shaw finish doubled the advantage early in the second half, as the Reds brought an end to the Blues' 21-game winning run in all competitions.

On Henderson, Solskjaer said: "It was a great throw in front of Luke and when he is on the move, and on the charge, he is almost unstoppable. This season he has been excellent and I am delighted again. The way he drives, he could have had another one towards the end. When he drives, we have asked him to do that more often and he has replied."

On Henderson's clean sheet, the manager added: “You have to defend for so long and they have got players who are incredible. The tactics are brave and they play in such a way where there are threats everywhere - right, left, centre. There is penetration so you have to focus for 90 odd minutes so the boys deserve all of the praise that they will get tonight, but then forget about it because it is AC Milan on Thursday."
