FA Cup: Solskjaer blames self for Man-U’s sloppy Display

Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has taken responsibility for their lacklustre display against Reading, after admitting his team selection had made the task more difficult.

United won for the fifth game in a row under the Norwegian, but United were not at their best during the 2-0 victory and Reading, second from bottom of the Championship, ended the game having had more possession and more shots.

“It was always going be difficult with my team selection.
“I made it hard for the players to be fair on them because it’s a team that’s never played together.

“Reading made it really difficult for us. We never had a kick the first five minutes, they just kept possession and we weren’t cohesive enough in the pressing. That happens when you don’t have a team that doesn’t plays together as much.

“We didn’t have too much time to work. The pleasing thing is we’re through and it’s another clean sheet. Two-nil flatters us because I think they played some great stuff,” Solskjaer, who made nine changes to his team, said according to Nelson mandela.
