		</div><p>Ole Gunnar Solskjaer called David De Gea the “best goalkeeper in the world” after his superb performance helped Manchester United to a record-breaking win at Tottenham.</p>
<p>Sunday’s encounter between the two bookmakers’ favorites to permanently succeed Jose Mourinho as Red Devils boss lived up to the billing at Wembley, where Marcus Rashford’s sublime first-half strike sealed a 1-0 win against Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs.</p>
<p>It extended caretaker boss Solskjaer’s winning start to a club-record sixth successive match in all competitions, but the main subject of conversation afterwards was De Gea.</p>

<p>After a quiet opening period, the United goalkeeper pulled off 11 saves in an exceptional second-half display that earned plaudits aplenty.</p>
<p><em>“Obviously it’s a tough venue to come to,”</em> Solskjaer said after the win. <em>“Spurs are flying at the moment – they score goals, they’ve got some fantastic players and we defended really well.</em></p>
<p><em>“We had a fantastic goalkeeper, obviously.</em></p>
<p><em>“Second half, we made hard work of it. Maybe because of ourselves they created many, many chances but first half I thought it was spot on.</em></p>

<p><em>“Team spirit, we can defend – Jonah [Phil Jones], Victor (Lindelof) fantastic with Luke (Shaw) and Ash (Young) next to them.</em></p>
<p><em>“We’ve got the best goalkeeper in the world – I’ve said that many times – and we’ve got blistering pace up front and the goal was fantastic by Rash.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s a hard skill, you know, to score from that angle with a right foot and an instep.</em></p>
<p><em>“I thought he was going to go near post, but it was a well-struck finish.”</em></p>
<p>Asked if this was the best he had seen from De Gea, Solskjaer said: <em>“Well, he had one against Arsenal a couple of years ago – but he should have held a few of them!</em></p>
<p><em>“But there’s maybe one or two fantastic saves and the rest was just about concentration and being in the right position.</em></p>
<p><em>“We’ve had some great keepers at this club and I think he’s challenging both Edwin (Van Der Sar) and Peter (Schmeichel) for the number one spot historically.”</em></p>
<p>Talk over De Gea’s United future is sure to intensify after Sunday’s heroics, with his deal due to expire next summer – after the activation of a one-year extension clause.</p>
<p>Press Association Sport understands talks are ongoing and the 28-year-old certainly seems happy at the club under caretaker boss Solskjaer.</p>
<p><em>“He brings happiness, the players are playing very well,”</em> De Gea told Sky Sports.</p>
<p><em>“The team is strong now, very strong.</em></p>
<p><em>“We know how to control the games, how to keep the ball, how to create chances, and that’s very good for us. This is the real Manchester United.”</em></p>

<p>Paul Pogba is another enjoying playing for rejuvenated United, having struggled under Mourinho in recent months.</p>
<p><em>“I’m enjoying playing football,”</em> he said, having provided a superb assist for Rashford.</p>
<p><em>“It was difficult in the system (under Mourinho), the tactics we used to play.</em> <em>I like to be more attacking, pressing, play high. Defending is not my best attribute.”</em></p>
<p>Tottenham head coach Pochettino was upbeat about his side’s display in defeat, with star man Harry Kane’s ankle issue his main concern.</p>
<p>The England striker has been out with similar injuries in each of the last two seasons, compounding the first-half withdrawal of the limping Moussa Sissoko.</p>
<p><em>“I think I am worried because we will see what happens with Harry Kane,”</em> Pochettino said. <em>“I think Moussa is only a small thing but we will see, we need to assess Harry Kane.</em></p>
