Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the overall impact of match-winner Cristiano Ronaldo as Manchester United roared back to beat Atalanta on a night when poor defending threatened to cost them.

Solskjaer and his side were the subject of intense scrutiny in the build-up to Wednesday’s Champions League group game after defeat to Leicester and a run of just one win infive matches in all competitions.

United were facing a fifth loss in eight matches when Mario Pasalic and Merih Demiral capitalised on lax defending to give Atalanta a two-goal lead, leading to boos from some fans at Old Trafford at half-time.

After goals from Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire, Ronaldo headed United in front with less than ten minutes to play, a goal that earned all maximum points
