Solskjaer Wants Man Utd to Learn from Clinical Aubameyang

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer encouraged his forward players to learn from the killer touch of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after the Arsenal striker secured a 1-1 draw for the Gunners at Old Trafford on Monday.

Aubameyang has now scored eight goals in eight games this season, including seven in the Premier League.

“Seven now in seven games, so that’s clinical,” said Solskjaer admiringly of Aubameyang.

“You think at the time maybe Harry managed to get out but it was a few yards onside and a good finish.”
