Two late goals from Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial at Goodison Park booked Manchester United’s place in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, where they will face Manchester City at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer made nine changes to the team that beat Leeds United 6-2 at the weekend, but Manchester United still dominated proceedings against Everton in their 2-0 win on Merseyside.
With the club embarking on a busy period of fixtures, McIlroy insisted that Solskjaer will need his squad firing and believes most of the players gave him a selection headache for Manchester United’s Boxing Day trip to Leicester City.
The Manchester United legend feels that Solskjaer’s squad are looking fitter and sharper and seem to have a system in place as they go from strength to strength this season.
McIlroy said on MUTV: “You are going to need these players going into this festive period. There is going to be plenty of football played and you need them.
“Those players, the majority of them, nine changes from the last game, needed a taste of the football and they showed the manager what they can do.
“It’s a great headache for the manager because he is got to pick the team for Leicester on Boxing Day.
“It’s a good headache for the manager to have and the way Ole has got his squad now – they look fitter, sharper, they know each other’s game and they have got a system that people call counter-attacking football with the pace we have, but also we can be patient as well.
“And tonight we had to be patient as Everton had a lot of players behind the ball to make it difficult for us.
“But we kept going and kept going and got our victory.”
A win at Leicester on Saturday would take Manchester United to second in the Premier League standings.
