Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's stars edge through to FA Cup quarter-finals

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased with his players' attitude and focus as Manchester United progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals with an extra-time win against West Ham.

Having seen victory ripped from their grasp with the last kick against Everton on Saturday, the Red Devils produced a positive response to that frustrating 3-3 Premier League draw.

United had to dig deep against former manager David Moyes' in-form West Ham side, with substitute Scott McTominay meeting Marcus Rashford's fine lay-off with a thumping strike to secure a 1-0 victory in extra time.

"Of course going through is always the main thing in the cup," said Solskjaer, who is looking for his first trophy in the Old Trafford hotseat.

"And for us bouncing back after the disappointing last kick of the ball the other day, so very pleased with the mentality, how they reset their attitude and we're positive about going through.

"I think the players saw the game out really well. We are getting stronger and fitter."
