Solskjaer held up his hands and clapped the fans in thanks for their support, with a number of players also going over.
The fans reacted by cheering the popular former striker.
Solskjaer said: "From the first whistle everything went wrong. I just want to apologise to the fans. They’re the only people with the badge on today who can hold their head high, because we can’t.
“Everton were better than us at all the basics. There are so many things that we need to do better to get a result. Talent has never been enough.
“We just didn’t perform. That was not worthy of a Manchester United team. We hold our hands up and apologise to everyone associated with the club. We have a perfect chance to make amends on Wednesday [against Manchester City].”
Gary Neville was vexed by United's performance and was not impressed that Solskjaer needed to apologise.

"I'm furious. I'm absolutely furious," former defender Neville said on Sky Sports. "That performance was rancid. It was rotten out there. I'm furious, the fact Solskjaer has to go over and apologise to the fans at the whistle is embarrassing.“
The result leaves United two points adrift of Arsenal in fourth - with the Gunners facing Crystal Palace at 4pm on Sunday.
