Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became the first Manchester
United manager to win his first six league games
in charge as his side held on to beat Brighton.
It was United's seventh straight win since the
Norwegian took over at Old Trafford on an interim
basis a month ago and they are now just three
points off fourth-placed Chelsea, who lost to
Arsenal in Saturday's late kick-off.
Paul Pogba put United in front after winning and
then converting a penalty in the 27th minute.
Marcus Rashford doubled the lead just before half-
time with a beautiful solo goal on his 150th
appearance for the club.
Pascal Gross halved the deficit for the visitors
when he scored in off the bar with just over 20
minutes remaining.
Brighton improved in the second half but their
wretched away record continued as they fell to a
fifth defeat in their last eight Premier League
games.
