In terms of the result, he added: "I think it’s a good reaction from the away game, 4-1 at home, you can be happy.
"First half was really good, especially the first 30 minutes, we played really nice football, scored really nice goals.
"Second half we lose too many balls, we gave them some chances, but last five minutes we control the game again and we make a nice goal [for the fourth]."
United now need just a point from their two remaining games against PSG and RB Leipzig to ensure qualification.
The Red Devils face the Ligue 1 champions at Old Trafford next Wednesday after a Premier League clash with Southampton this Sunday (2pm).
United boss Solskjaer was also pleased with the performance of Van de Beek.
He said: "I think the two of them are getting used to how we want them to play.
"Of course, Donny can play in different positions, Edinson is a good old fashion number nine and we haven’t had that for a little while, and I was very happy with how Anthony [Martial] played off the left hand side again."
