Solskjaer P/C
Building on dramatic winner
We've done that so many times at this club.
We played against a very good team, dominated possession but were open on the counter-attack.
The boost, the energy has to be built on. It is a very quick turnaround. The players are not going to get caught out.
Vulnerable on the counter-attack
That is the challenge that we are facing more and more. We have got to be better at.
We want to be in the position that teams pay us such respect. There are so many things that you've got to do right.
The ball moves so rapidly up the pitch and it sometimes looks like a handball game! The Aston Villa game had 45 minutes effective playing time which is lowest I've seen of us
Solskjaer denies report Cristiano Ronaldo wants United to play faster
That is another one. Wow, what can you answer to that? What we speak about us that is between us, but we haven't had that discussion, put it that way
On Donny van de Beek frustration
You know, I manage a squad full of international footballers, competitive footballers who want to make a difference, who want to play. They all want to be on the pitch, of course they do.
Donny was ready to come on, as all players should be. I've been a sub more than anyone in this club probably - I must have a record appearance as a sub - and you have to be ready all the time. I've been not very happy a few times but that is the decision the manager makes.
Alex was coming off as a left-back and Fred did that job well. So I understand the frustration, of course, every player is keen to play, that's got to be built into energy and determination for when you get on and show me.
It's not just Donny, it's players, I've got a squad of internationals and if we're going to be successful we need positive energy, no sulkers.
Donny has never affected his teammates negatively. As soon as I see players affecting the team negatively then that's a different scenario and I'll probably be firmer
Early team news
No, Luke feels better but he has still got the shoulder injury.
Marcus trained for first time fully today.
Harry, Amad still out. We didn't lose anyone on Wednesday
Cristiano Ronaldo impact
He has had a great impact on and off the pitch.
Five goals in five games at his age says everything. You've got to manage him, he's a very good example for everyone.
Long may it continue.
Dean Henderson playing time
Both Dean and Tom are ready to play when called upon.
Dean has had problems but he is past that now and played really well vs West Ham in Carabao Cup.
David has done very well, he has handled it very well.
Solskjaer slams fixture schedule
No explanation. It is TV.
No common sense at all, we had same scenario last year when we played in Turkey and then Everton.
We have to make it happen. It is not like we did it last year so it is going to happen again.
Us and Chelsea played Wednesday and Liverpool vs Chelsea should have been the Saturday one. Common sense isn't so common.
