Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has responded to Nemanja Matic’s comments on him last week.
Matic said that Solskjaer will be to blame if United don’t win silverware this season, something that sent rumours surfacing over the Serbian’s transfer out of the club. The 32-year-old hasn’t played a full game for United this season but is set to feature against Leicester City today, following a long list of injuries the Red Devils face at the moment.
Replying to Matic’s comments, Solskjaer was not at all confrontational.
“There’s always pressure when you’re here,” he said.
“But, of course, I’m confident in what we’re doing, we’ve got a plan, and the performances haven’t told me that we need to change direction.”
“Results, that’s a different matter, but when you concede three goals from four chances, there’s not a lot we can control. We can control how we play, how we practice and how we prepare. Well, I’m saying three in four chances, I can say four in six chances against us in the last three games, so they’re games we should have won.”
“We know that, but that’s another matter – we need to score the goals. We want to get the results we feel we deserve, now is the time. We are coming into a busy period now, and we don’t want to be behind Tottenham and Chelsea or Arsenal for that position. Leicester, Everton, there are loads of team who want to get in there.”
“We need to make sure we get on a winning streak and get the results. It’s a good test [against Leicester] and a great test, a challenge for our players who want to push closer to City and Liverpool.”
