Romelu Lukaku believes Manchester United are "back to ourselves" after a difficult few months.
Jose Mourinho's sacking has rebooted things at Old Trafford, where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could scarcely have wished for a better start to life as interim manager.
The Norwegian has overseen five wins from as many matches, emulating Sir Matt Busby in making that 100 per cent start to life in the United hot seat.
Saturday's 2-0 win against Reading in the FA Cup was the most unconvincing of those triumphs to date, but Lukaku believes Solskjaer has got the team back to where it should be.
"I think we are back to ourselves and it's good to see the players enjoy (it) and winning games, which is the most important thing.
"We are Manchester United and we try to go out there and win every game."
Lukaku missed the first two matches of Solskjaer's reign due to a private matter but has found the net in every appearance since returning.
There is no doubt that this has been a tough campaign for the 25-year-old, but he is clearly enjoying life under the former United striker.
"He helps us a lot," Lukaku said of Solskjaer. "In training when we do the finishing, he helps us a lot - how to strike the
ball, how to move away from the ball.
"And the way how he wants us to play really benefits me because he wants me to be in a position where I want to be, so he understands what type of striker you are and he just plays to your strengths.
"Through the middle, just facing the goal at all times and he knows that I am dangerous in that manner but also helping the team off the ball and stuff like that.
"He asks me a lot and I try to pay off (that work) with goals."
