Solskjaer told Anthony Martial he had a responsibility to score more goals for Manchester United this season after handing him the No.9 shirt.
Solskjaer would not confirm whether Martial will be fit to start against Liverpool on Sunday but when he does come back the France international knows what is expected of him.
"Now that I've taken the No.9 shirt back once again, all the [Ole] has said to me is that I have a lot of responsibility and that I have to score goals, so that's what I am trying to do," Martial told Inside United.
"We all prefer beautiful goals but, at the end of the day, a goal is still a goal,” he said. “So, if I could score 30 goals as I scored in the game against Chelsea, I would take that right now!
"I guess I have tended to score quite nice goals and so, if I managed to score more of this kind of goal, in addition to the more spectacular ones, then I'd end up with a much higher goals total come to the end of the season."
