None of the 34 goals scored by Manchester United in the "Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era" meant more to him than Andreas Pereira's long-range cracker that led the fightback against Southampton on Saturday.
The interim manager couldn't have celebrated the 23-year-old's incredible long-range strike, United's first in a 3-2 win, more enthusiastically had it been scored by one of his own children.
Pereira is a graduate of the United academy having arrived from Belgium - to Brazilian parents - as a kid.
