The Wales international arrived at Old Trafford in a deal which could rise to £18m and has been a hit under Solskjaer.
The 22-year-old started for United on Sunday as they looked to keep a positive run of results going on the road at Watford.
Meanwhile, Solskjaer has confirmed United are ready to work with Mino Raiola, who represents striker target Haaland, to get the Salzburg star on board.
“Players can choose their own representatives,” Solskjaer said. “I had probably my best friend looking after me and it is so important that every player has complete 100 percent trust in whoever represents them. Agents work for the player. The player is in charge.
“I don't have any issues about who represents players because I don't really speak to them. I have got nothing to do with the money. I speak to the players when I need to speak to them. I don't talk through agents.”
