Solskjaer admits Sunday was the darkest day as a Man United manager.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer has stated that Sunday was the darkest day as United manager.
Solskjaer’s men suffer heavy defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford as second half substitute Paul Pogba got sent off in the second half.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Solskjaer said: “It’s not easy to say something, apart from it’s the darkest day I’ve had leading these players.
“We weren’t good enough individually or as a team. You can’t give a team like Liverpool those chances and unfortunately, we did.
Solskjaer added that the performance was not good enough as they were unable to utilize their chances like Liverpool did.
“The whole performance wasn’t good enough, that’s for sure. We have created openings, they have had chances, they have been clinical and we did not take our chances early on. Then the third goal is the one that decided the game.
“It’s mine [responsibly for the loss] – that’s it. The coaching staff are brilliant and I choose the way we approach the game and today, we weren’t clinical enough going forward. There were spaces for both teams and when you give good players spaces, they score.
“You can look back at last season when we lost 6-1 to Spurs – this is miles worse. The opposition as well, that makes it miles worse for me as a Manchester lad and we have to get over this as quick as we can and move on.”
