Premier League

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his team are now starting to ‘learn’ how to play with Edinson Cavani and he hopes the relationship will grow more next campaign. Manchester United all but confirmed a top-four finish in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Red devils fell behind in the first half of the game but they responded with goals from Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood and a late strike from Cavani. The 34-year-old forward had told to the club around six weeks ago that he wanted to return to south America and would not be extending his deal at Old Trafford by 12 months. But, his form has been incredible in recent weeks and Solskjaer has been using the lure of playing in front o...

Brruno Fernandes explains what Solskjaer must do to win Premier League at Man Utd

Premier League

Solskjaer defends Harry Maguire for calling Man Utd teammate a ‘f***ing idiot’

Premier League

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended Harry Maguire after he was heard calling Fred a ‘f***ing idiot’ during Sunday’s stalemate against Leeds United. In a largely boring game at Elland Road lacking in quality, Maguire’s clearly audible tirade at Fred midway through the second half became the main talking point after the clash. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The two players had clashed after Fred seemed to take umbrage with a run Maguire had made, with the defender lashing out at the Brazilian. However, Solskjaer played down the exchange after the match and says the on-field bust-up was simply the by-product of two teammates who demand the maximum from each other. ‘We have a group that demands a lot of each other,’ said the United...

Premier League

Paul Scholes has criticised Solskjaer’s comments after Manchester United’s stalemate with Leeds and said he was ‘surprised’ Pogba and Cavani didn't start. Chances were few in the game, with United forward Marcus Rashford closest to breaking the deadlock with a well-hit free-kick shortly before half-time.

Solskjaer drops huge hint over Cavani’s future at Man Utd

Premier League

Edinson Cavani has not ‘100 per cent’ decided on his future at Manchester United but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says there is a good chance the striker will leave the club. The Red devils are currently in talks with the Uruguayan forward over triggering a one-year extension in his contract. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Cavani has scored 10 goals in 31 games since his arrival last October and has provided a clear focal point to their attack but is considering a return to South America with Boca Juniors ready to offer him a contract.

Mason Greenwood tells Solskjaer his preferred position at Man Utd

Premier League

Mason Greenwood has revealed his desire to become Manchester United’s long-term striker after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conceded he wasn’t ready to play through the middle. United have been tipped to sign a centre-forward this summer – particularly because of the uncertainty over Edinson Cavani’s future – and Solskjaer suggested he won’t be filling the void with Greenwood just yet. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ‘Maybe in the future he can play as a central striker, but I still think that’s a few years away,’ said Solskjaer last week. ‘Being a centre-forward in the Premier League is probably the hardest position to play. ‘At the moment, I think Mason is more suited to playing that wide role, dropping into pockets, finding space and running in behind. ‘I do...
