Marcus Rashford's low completion from Paul Pogba's wonderful pass on the stroke of half-time extended Solskjaer's impeccable begin - however the Norwegian had De Gea to thank for a sublime showcase as Spurs laid attack to United's objective after the break.
The Spaniard made a progression of urgent mediations, 11 altogether, incorporating numerous with his feet, as Spurs attempted futile to maintain a strategic distance from an annihilation that makes their undertaking of keeping pace with Liverpool and Manchester City significantly progressively difficult.
Joined indicated extraordinary flexibility to back up their initial positive methodology however it was De Gea who broke Spurs' hearts by denying Harry Kane on a few events, just as Dele Alli and Toby Alderweireld.
The outcome deserts Spurs nine pioneers Liverpool and United dimension on focuses with fifth-set Arsenal as they restore their best four expectations.
Maybe a couple would have set Solskjaer as a genuine contender on any rundown to supplant Jose Mourinho when he was sacked as United manager in December.
And keeping in mind that he may not be the leader yet, he has done everything asked of him and this triumph against a group in title conflict - and with a chief in Mauricio Pochettino who many see as most loved to be next in the seat at Old Trafford - was the greatest proclamation of his qualifications yet.
Don't imagine it any other way, Solskjaer depended massively on De Gea's splendor as he shaped an exclusive boundary to challenge Spurs to anchor this success, yet he additionally touched base with an uplifting outlook and group determination that put United right in the amusement and prompted them understanding that half-time lead through Rashford's objective on the counter-assault.
This was his sternest test after a moderately benevolent initial installation list and, with the assistance of De Gea, he could finish it effectively.
Solskjaer has given an irritated squad solidarity of direction afresh, with Pogba apparently immediately restored by Mourinho's takeoff, and this keep running of wins has remade broken certainty and conviction.
The chances on may yet be against Solskjaer asserting the activity for all time as different names, for example, England chief Gareth Southgate and Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone, are referenced, however on the off chance that he is embraced a tryout, wins like this do his odds no mischief.
