They defended really well," Solskjaer told MUTV. "Of course we couldn't really break them down. They defended well and  their 'keepers, all three of them, they did really well. But it's one  of these games that we might get in the league ... sometimes it's the  91st minute, sometimes it's the first minute."The goal was very good... quality pass, great run and you're happy winning the game." Solskjaer's son, Noah, appeared off the bench for Kristiansund in the  dying stages, while the manager was flanked by his youngest son Elijah  throughout the contest.  Asked if it was a proud night for his family, the United boss added:  "I think so. Noah makes his debut for them in front of 28,000. It's not  very often a Norwegian boy does [that]. Elijah next to me, he enjoyed  it. That's what it about."  United play AC Milan in the International Champions Cup on Saturday.</blockquote>
