Solskjaer has been a man under siege in recent weeks after leading United to a string of poor performances that saw them drop out of the top four.

The 5-0 defeat in the hands of Liverpool at Old Trafford left the Norwegian under growing pressure to quit.

Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, and Marcus Rashford handed United a crucial victory to ease pressure on their manager.

Ole on the receiving end

However, a section of fans who turned up to cheer the team in north London were still not contented with the win as they shouted down Solskjaer as he had his post-match interview with MUTV.

Metro UK reports the tactician saw the funny side of the abuse and brilliantly shut down an unwanted heckler.

"Can I do this interview and then you can abuse me after, eh?!’ Solskjaer fired back with a smile on his face.

Speaking on United's recent form, Ole admitted "it has been a difficult week" but insisted he is doing everything within his means to turn around his side's fortunes.

Solskjaer snubs Ronaldo, names Scott McTominay as man-of-the-match against Tottenham

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has singled out Scott McTominay for praise after his side's 3-0 huge win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, October 30.

Man United used the London trip to bring their woeful run of form to a halt in a match that saw Cristiano Ronaldo score and assist.

The result was a perfect response to the Red Devils' worrying form that saw them suffer a 5-0 loss against rivals Liverpool last weekend.

Ronaldo was named the man of the match following his spectacular goal and brilliant play in the build-up to Edinson Cavani's effort in the second period of the match.

However, Solskjaer contends McTominay was his side's standout player, claiming the Scot was unplayable.
