Solskjaer criticises Man Utd forwards following 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace

Premier League

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased that Manchester United were able to extend their unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace but criticised his strikers for not ‘trust themselves’ more when in possession. Leicester had a 2-0 victory over Sheffield earlier in the evening to put pressure on the Red Devils and Solskjaer’s side responded well as goals from Rashford and Martial gave them the three points. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, it was not a perfect display from United, with Palace players adamant that they should have been given a penalty for a foul on Zaha shortly before the goal from Rashford. The win means a top-four finish is still in United's hands ahead of their trip to fourth-placed Leicester City on the final day of the Lea...
