Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that Manchester United will not repeat last season's embarrassing "capitulation" against Everton as they seek to strengthen their push for a Champions League place.
United make the short trip to Goodison Park on Sunday in an upbeat mood after seven games unbeaten -- and six clean sheets -- in all competitions.
On Thursday they progressed to the last-16 of the Europa League after a 5-0 win at home against Club Brugge gave them a 6-1 win on aggregate.
Solskjaer endured what remains his most chastening day in the hotseat last April at Everton, apologising to fans after a 4-0 rout as their season unravelled.
"That was the lowest I've been," Solskjaer said, referring to the Everton defeat.
"I think you all know that and remember that. That was a capitulation.
"We had absolutely nothing about us, even though their goals were more or less counter-attacks from set plays and long throw-ins."
"These are the boys we want to build the next team around."
"We have missed that box opener that Bruno (Fernandes) is proving to be now."
