Indeed, United have recently managed to win tough games as well, when not everything goes their way, and yesterday Paul Pogba's goal from a deflected ball gave her three points.
Liverpool on the other hand have not been able to win the last three games, and have seen United pass them by and take them down from the top.
Solskjaer said his players were nervous, and had to calm the winds at half-time.
"They had to be calmed down at the break, because the emotions were turbulent because they didn't like things that happened on the pitch, so we had to regain control of the game, and we really played well in the second half and held on until the end," the coach said.
The momentum is with him, and he feels it.

Gary Neville, now a commentator and former Manchester United defender, commented on the situation of the team and the top flight: "It's a great moment, because until 6 or 8 weeks ago it was unbelievable that United would be close even to first place, but now they feel something good has been built. There’s a spirit evolving, and that can be seen in the way the players celebrate with each other.
”We know how quickly things change in this league.
Until a few weeks ago it was Chelsea, City had a bad time and now they are recovering, Liverpool looked strong, United looked dead a few weeks ago, and now everything is turning into teams.
It could turn around again, but it will not stop United fans from getting excited.
And why not get carried away?
"They're in the race for the championship, wow. I did not believe it would happen, and credit should be given to the players. And when I sit here tonight, I wonder - why would United fans not believe? Why would this team not believe?
" I think Liverpool will have some uncomfortable days now, because I Do not think they expected Manchester United to be close to them as a rival and they did not see it as any kind of threat.
That's why this week can be fun for United fans. "
