Can't build .Net 5 in pipeline

Question

I created a new solution 2 weeks ago using .Net 5 RC2. I've upgraded it to the new release (5.0.0). I'm trying to created a standard ASP.Net pipeline to build it, agent pool is Azure Pipelines, and agent specification I've tried both windows-2019 and vs2017-win2016. Both give the same errors as below Why is it trying to use 2.1?

Checking compatibility for System.Composition.AttributedModel 1.0.31 with .NETFramework,Version=v5.0 (win7-x86).
Checking compatibility for System.Composition.Runtime 1.0.31 with .NETFramework,Version=v5.0 (win7-x86).

It was using an older version of Nuget.

I changed it to 5.x before the restore and it works now.

Pipeline yaml

- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1
          inputs:
              versionSpec: 4.x.x

EDIT: Then ran into a problem of build not working because MSBuild 16.8 not released yet. Changed to dotnet build and put Use Dotnet 5 task before it
