Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained the importance of the crucial Manchester Derby on Saturday.
The Red Devils will be facing their toughest test this season as they hope to establish their spot in the top four of the league table. Pep Guardiola’s side lost their last match against Crystal Palace and they need to win this contest to avoid back-to-back defeat.
Meanwhile, Solskjaer’s side had a comfortable win in their pockets last week as they outclassed Tottenham. With a win by a two-goal margin, United could move above Manchester City.
The Old Trafford will be full of fans and they deserve to watch something energetic and exciting on Saturday. During our last encounter with City in the month of March, the fans were not present and the electrifying chants were being missed.
Solskjaer has highlighted the importance of the fans and the speciality of this crucial Manchester Derby.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, he said:
“It’s a local derby and everyone knows what’s at stake. It’s a special one of course. The last time we had a Manchester derby with fans in the stadium the atmosphere was electric. We know it’s a one-off game, you have to start on the front foot. The team is very close together. They know they need each other and the team spirit is important.”
It will be an important match for the United manager as he needs a win to stabilize himself at the top of the helm. The pressure is still increasing for Solskjaer as he failed to win against Atalanta.
The fans are crying for consistent performances from their players and they need to prove their worth against Manchester City.
