Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has cautioned Manchester City there will be no eased up from his side in their offer to apply pressure in the Premier League title race following Manchester United’s 3-1 success over Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Solksjaer said: “I am never going to say it’s done until it’s done. We have seen so many examples of teams that have hung in there, have kept working, and have kept doing their own jobs. Something might happen. It’s not something we think about – we just think about our own performances. That’s the only thing we can control. We have got loads to play for, and as a team, we’ve got loads to improve on. To build momentum by going on the pitch and playing well is important. We have had a couple of setbacks in West Brom and Sheffield United where I can sit here and explain why we did not get the points we deserved but that’s not what I want to do. For me, the boys are really focused.”
In the wake of overseeing one triumph in their past five first-class coordinates, Solskjaer felt Thursday’s 4-0 Europa League triumph against Real Sociedad showed his side had got over their new droop and United returned to winning ways locally in the wake of seeing off the danger of assignment compromised Newcastle.
While they missed the mark regarding those norms on Sunday, second-half objectives from Daniel James and Bruno Fernandes’s objectives got triumph after Allan Saint-Maximin had offset Marcus Rashford’s fine opener – and Solskjaer wouldn’t preclude getting their neighbors at the culmination notwithstanding City’s 10-point advantage.
Since losing three of their initial six rounds of the Premier League season, United have just lost one of their last 19 games in the opposition.
This win certainly has risen hope in the United fans and they need Manchester City to slip up now to close the gap even further.
