Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is full of confidence and said that his team delivered the best performance of the season as they beat Brighton 3-1 in a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford on November 10. UK media has reported a 'sense of positivity around the team' as they head for an international break after having beat, Brighton.
'Best performance of the season'
Ole was of the opinion that it was their best performance of the season as the reaction he saw United score three goals was fantastic. He said that it was great to see the players enjoy themselves during the match and that probably helped them get a result as good as this. Ole also highlighted that since the time they had a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, they have registered a total of 5 wins and one defeat.
The only defeat that the Red Devils suffered after the Liverpool game was a narrow 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth. Solskjaer said that obviously it was a disappointing result against Bournemouth but they had a lot of answers as to what the team was trying to do and achieve something.
Solskjaer also praised midfielder Fred and defender Harry Maguire, stating that both of them had improved considerably game after game and also lauded 19-year-old left-back Brandon Williams following his impressive performance against Brighton in his first Premier League start.
McTominay's injury a concern for Manchester United
The only negative thing for Manchester United was Scott McTominay's ankle injury as the midfielder was taken down the tunnel on a stretcher after being treated for a few minutes in the technical area. According to reports, the seriousness of McTominay's injury would be decided on November 11. Ole said that he did not know about how long will the Scottish player take to recover as Scott went over on his ankle and suffered a painful injury.
With pressure mounting on the former player and current United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it is a matter of time before it can be proved whether Ole is capable of steering the Red Devils back to their winning ways and is he capable of making the players play the Manchester United way.
Football ‘not the most important thing’ at Man United
Former Manchester United midfielder, Ander Herrera, recently questioned the priorities at United and stated that football was not considered the most important thing at one of the most successful English club. Having played for the Red Devils for a period of 5 years, Herrera was of the opinion that the club has lost focus and is failing to prioritize on things that really matter and would help the club get back up on its feet.
He further added that Ole did a lot for him to stay at Old Trafford but failed to convince the board and by the time United came to him with a new contract, it was too late as he had already had a verbal agreement with the French club.
