"We have only entered a third of the season, not even half, so the standings are not something that deserves attention right now," said Solskjaer answering questions about the championship competition in post-match comments reported by Antara from the official MU website.
Solskjaer insists he is currently concentrating on having a squad that is fitter than in the first few games as United started the season following their performance in the final stages of last season's Europa League.
The late start of the season even made MU have to wait until the fifth home game to win their first victory at Old Trafford, after being crushed by Tottenham Hotspur 1-6 and humiliated by Crystal Palace 1-3.
"We are constantly trying to find improvements in this team, especially regarding team fitness because we know it will be a problem because it started the season late," said Solskjaer.
"It was seen in our first few games of the season, but, today, I think we look fitter and stronger as a team," he concluded.
