MANCHESTER UNITED manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping that a more consistent run of form will see his side secure a top-four finish come the end of the season.

‏Following impressive wins earlier in the month against Spurs and Manchester City, United dropped points to struggling Everton and lost to relegation Watford last Sunday.

‏But despite going behind at home to Newcastle on Boxing Day thanks to a first-half Matty Longstaff goal, the Red Devils fought back to secure all three points thanks to a goal in each half from Anthony Martial either side of a superb Mason Greenwood effort and a Marcus Rashford header.
