Solskjaer is here
Solskjær press conference vs Norwich (A)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Solskjaer on *
”First of all, any team that wins the championship and a Premier League deserves it and they deserve credit, it’s a hard league to win. So well done to Jurgen and his players. Every time you see anyone else lift the trophy it hurts, I reckon that’s the feeling everyone associated with Manchester United - all our players, staff supporters - we want to get back to winning ways and that’s our challenge.“

How far away are United?
“I don’t think it’s time to... to say how far you’re behind.
We are in a position now we have to improve, one we have to get in the Champions League, higher up in the league and, start challenging for trophies. That consistency and efficiency is a challenge for us as well. At our best we are very good, have to do that whatever day it is, do it again and again, that’s the challenge for our players going forward.”

FA Cup a catalyst
“I think first of all the FA Cup is a fantastic tournament and fantastic final to play in, a fantastic trophy to lift, our team is a new team and to get hands on a first trophy would be fantastic and hopefully a catalyst for more things to come.
So we are very focused on doing our best on getting through to the next round and the final.“

Squad rotation vs Norwich?
“With the long layoff we’ve had and looking after the players is one of our jobs and as you say rotation. We play Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday and Saturday again.
But if you want to be a part of a winning Man United team you have to make a couple of changes but that’s the situation we’re in. We’re gonna do our best to put performances on and make sure players are safe.“

'Sir Alex difficult to emulate'
“The run of titles we won under Sir Alex isn’t gonna be easy for anyone to emulate or copy. Sir Alex was a master of staying at the top, our challenge is to make sure we don’t go 26 years until the next time we win it or more, we’re gonna do everything we can to shorten the distance or go past them.”

Lingard to be involved vs Norwich
“Jesse has come back from the lockdown with a smile on his feet, loads of energy, last week he fell ill but we’ve done all the tests and he’ll be involved against Norwich now and kick on.
Jesse has scored vital goals for us and been a vital player, let’s see what the future will hold, he’s looking sharp and focused.”

How much do you learn from bumps in the road?
“You don’t go looking for bumps, you play against different teams but for us every game is a chance to prove you’re good enough for Man United and on the right track and when you play for Man United it’s a game you can win and a challenge to keep consistency.
We’ve shown what we can do at our best and longer and longer periods before the lows, but you’re not looking for a bump.”

Sounds neither here nor there on Lingard's future.
Hopefully he's on his way, he's had long enough to get his act together. Jones needs to go to.
Solskjaer praise for Wan-Bissaka
“He was an exceptional defender when I watched him last season, exceptional games against Sane and Man City and when we managed to sign him you get to know him, a shy boy but he wants to lean and listens. He’s providing more assists, chances, crosses - the best full backs at the moment have been wingers before.
We rely on full backs to go forward and we’re pleased with his progress.”

Press constantly asking about Liverpool in our press conference after shoving 648399205 articles down our throats was just great.
New injuries?
No. I think we came through unscathed. It's still Axel [Tuanzebe] and Phil [Jones], they're out. They are the only two absentees.

Hope we play our strongest team, get a couple of goals ahead and then take players off. We can now make five subs. Perhaps only Matic should be rested
Expected really.“Jesse has come back from the lockdown with a smile on his feet, loads of energy, last week he fell ill but we’ve done all the tests and he’ll be involved against Norwich now and kick on.

Ah, last week he was illed.. not "dropped". Mix of both good and bad news there.
I love Ole.
I love how Ole keeps refering to the players as "boy". Not lad, man, or anything of the likes, but boy. Daddy Ole at the wheel!
Oh feck.Lingard to be involved vs Norwich

Who illed him? That's what I want to know
What exactly is the point of Phil Jones?
He's one of few players in this squad that's won a Premier League trophy
He brings that experience!I have no idea what happened to Phil Jones. He used to be at least servicable. I hope that he at least plays well enough to get more than 45 minutes and a yelling if he features against Norwich
Keeping our medical staff in a job.
I really like Ole's pressers. He feels positive like he really believes we are making a team here that could be very successful.
Phil Jones injured though, of course haha
Phil Jones injured though, of course haha
We don't want the medical team to be rusty eh?
feck off with Lingard, honestly. How many chances to perform did he wasted already? It's so unfair. "Vital player " 
What the hells Jesse been up to in lockdown to comeback with smiles on his feet.Lingard to be involved vs Norwich

Sounds like some messed up plastic surgery experiment inspired by the movie Happy Feet.
And what is he supposed to say? "Lingard is shit and we don't want to see him ever again, so if anyone will buy him, anyone, pleeease, will cost you fish and chips. Maybe can of soda too. No, forget it, fish and chips will do nicely, thanks"feck off with Lingard, honestly. How many chances to perform did he wasted already? It's so unfair. "Vital player "
He's a vital player for Norwich, we have to give them a chance.feck off with Lingard, honestly. How many chances to perform did he wasted already? It's so unfair. "Vital player "
To be a meme
You don't need to bash him publicly to tell the truth and be fair.
He is being nice. I'm pretty sure Ole wants him gone.
Please don't start Lingard in the cup game. I want to win the cup.
Of course he does, he has not been offered a new contract. It is just about getting this season done, I doubt he will play much. His playing time has already been very little ever since the new year.
On his last chance. If He plays like shit then that's it. Ole would have more than enough reasons not to play him any further.Lingard to be involved vs Norwich

Sadly if we have no choice but to play him, I'd rather he play in the cup then feck up our chances at top 4.
Exactly! We need experience in the squadHe's one of few players in this squad that's won a Premier League trophy
One PL start in 2020 says exactly what Ole thinks of him .feck off with Lingard, honestly. How many chances to perform did he wasted already? It's so unfair. "Vital player "
