Jesse Lingard netted a penalty before getting his second of the match late on.
And Rashford opened up on Solskjaer following the first time Manchester United had scored five goals in the Premier League since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
He explained: “He wants us to be positive on the ball and always look for the gaps. That was just the start.
“We're going to improve and get better at it.
“The Christmas period is very busy so it is about recovering and making sure we're ready for the next games.
“We have to keep improving and go up another level.”
Jesse Lingard was also delighted with the win.
He explained: “The lads played with a lot of energy, enjoyment and excitement. We scored five goals, which is good.
“When you’ve got confidence, you put yourselves in positions to score goals. That’s what we did.
“We were playing higher and the full-backs were higher. We pinned them back and created a lot of chances.”
United are now eight points behind Chelsea who sit fourth in the Premier League.
Next up for the Red Devils is a clash with Huddersfield at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
