Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the influence of Juan Mata after the Spaniard starred in Manchester United’s Carabao Cup win at Brighton.

The visitors ran out 3-0 winners as the 32-year-old Mata laid on Scott McTominay’s header before tucking away his 50th goal for the club, with Paul Pogba’s deflected free-kick wrapping up the victory.
