"We`re looking forward to it, we enjoy being where we are at any time. At the moment we are where we are, we go there knowing we`re playing the best team in the country by a mile over the last year and a half, they are champions by right," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying.

"We`re looking forward to it and it`s a great test of where we`re at against a good team. We are getting better and better. We are almost half way through the season and it is a little bit of an indication of where we`re at, but nobody will remember the league table on January 12," he added.Against Burnley, Paul Pogba scored a goal in the 71st minute to hand United a 1-0 win. It is the first time that United have topped the table at this stage of a season since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

"The frustrations were there for everyone to see and it affected our performances. We can`t let that happen, we`ve just got to accept once in a while decisions go against us," said Solskjaer.

"I`d rather win 4-0 as it`s so much more comfortable towards the end. At 1-0 you have to see out some big moments and we did. We were a bit fortunate, you expect that here at Turf Moor. They put bodies on the box, but we put our head in like Luke Shaw did. I`m very pleased with the spirit," he added.
