Mason Greenwood and Bruno Fernandes' double gave Manchester United a comfortable 3-0 win.
The Red Devils are now unbeaten since their 2-0 loss against Burnley in January; a run of 15 matches without defeat.
Solskjaer was quick to wax lyrical about his men’s performance after a big win in Brighton.
“It's a joy to watch them when you see them express themselves like that,” the Norwegian coach told BBC Sports.
"The confidence comes from perormances and knowing they've done the right things leading in to the restart.”
“They worked hard during the lockdown and we know we have loads to play for.”
"The third goal was a great team goal. To see so many players sprinting forward to get on the end of it was fantastic. A great finish by Bruno Fernandes.”
"Paul Pogba was top. He got hold of the ball, sprayed it, won headers. He's just going to get better and better."
“They have reason to be confident because they are playing fantastically.”
“There is quality in that team, our players are fit and we have competition for places now.
"We know Mason Greenwood can score goals like this but he is getting stronger, lockdown helped him.”
“He had time to fill out and you can see the benefit from it. He will be exciting to follow.
"I've got more than one gamechanger, we have some top players and Bruno has come and been fantastic.”
“He has brought that winning mentality with him, that 99% is not good enough - it has to be 100%."
