Marcus Rashford needed only three minutes to give United the lead as he blasted home a free kick. Solskjaer, who spent nine months in charge of Cardiff when the Welsh club was relegated in 2014, was up off his seat again after 29 minutes when Ander Herrera’s deflected shot went in.
Rashford was then deemed to have handled the ball in the box, and Victor Camarasa converted the penalty for Cardiff.
But there was no stopping United, and Anthony Martial rounded off an excellent move to make it 3-1 before halftime.
Lingard added a goal from the penalty spot after being fouled in the 57th minute, and he struck again in the closing stages.
It was the first time United had scored five goals in a league game since Alex Ferguson was the coach.
Rooney, a former United hero as a player like Solskjaer, said the change in coaches was badly needed.
“The players obviously looked a bit restricted,” under Mourinho, Rooney said according to REUTERS. “The players have ability, and today we’ve seen that. A lot of things were happening around the team and around the manager, which isn’t good. Ole’s given them that freedom.”
