However, the stunning form notwithstanding, Solskjaer has dismissed any talk of the Premier League title challenge.

"You're not going to get me on that one now. It's five games into the season. I was probably down and out and lost my job yesterday. That's the way it is at Man United," Ole told Sky Sports when asked about a tilt at the Premier League.
"Let's see [about the title] when we get towards April and May," he added.

The Red Devils have not won the domestic title since 2013 when they stormed to glory under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, expectations of the side mounting a serious challenge for the Premier League have been ramped up this season.
