‘I will always give it a shot’ – Man United boss Solskjaer ready to fight back

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his boys are ready to give their best and he’s ready to fight back ahead of their Premier League meeting with Tottehman on Saturday.

Solskjaer is under pressure after a 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool last weekend left his side seventh in the Premier League and eight points off leaders Chelsea.

“We need a reaction,” said Solskjaer. “It’s my job to put the players in the right frame of mind.”

He added: “I’m responsible for the reaction, result and performance. We’ve worked on everything on the pitch that needs to be sorted for a footballer.

“We’ve had a good week and I feel that the boys are ready to give their best, as they always do.

“Nothing went to plan [against Liverpool] and that was nowhere near our best.”

“One thing I can say is that I will always give it a shot and fight back.”

United have taken just one point from their past four league matches and the game against Spurs is followed by Atalanta away in the Champions League on Tuesday and a derby at home to Manchester City on Sunday, 6 November.
