The Red Devils started their Premier league season with a bang as they ripped Marcelo’s Bielsa’s side to shreds.
Mason Greenwood, Fred and a hat-trick from Portugal superstar Bruno Fernandes made sure the Peacocks returned to West Yorkshire with their tails between their legs.
Speaking to the media after the game, Solskjaer, who could not hide his excitement admitted it was a fantastic day.
"I couldn’t have asked for more. You’re always a bit worried before the first game - fitness-wise have we done enough? Tactics-wise? The sessions have been geared just to this game. It’s been a fantastic day,” he said.
Old Trafford was filled to its fullest capacity for the first time in 17 months and the Norwegian coach admitted the fans gave them the extra push to beat Leeds.
He added: "It creates and sets the mood when you see the fans driving to the stadium. You get the butterflies again. Suddenly it’s a game that matters. We felt extra responsibility because it’s been so long without them. They mean so much to us. To have that love from the fans is so important."
Manchester United will want to keep this winning run going when they visit the Saint Mary's Stadium to face Southampton on Sunday.
