Story highlights Tottenham 0-1 Man Utd

Marcus Rashford scores winner

Keeper David De Gea key for Man Utd

(CNN) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faced his first real test as Manchester United's caretaker manager against a top four English Premier League side on Sunday and passed it with flying colors after coming away from Wembley Stadium with a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Marcus Rashford's first-half goal proved the difference between the two sides, with goalkeeper David de Gea producing a man-of-the-match performance -- he made 11 saves -- to secure United's sixth consecutive win under Solskjaer.

"He's brought happiness," De Gea told Sky Sports as he reflected on the impact Solskjaer has had. "This is the real Manchester United.

"We won the game against a top team -- we defended well and we got the points."

Appointed caretaker boss after the club fired Jose Mourinho in December, Solskjaer had overseen his team win five successive games, scoring 16 goals in the process, ahead of Sunday's encounter.
