Ending a Bad Record, Manchester United’s Victory was Significant for Solskjaer

DBasia.news –  The 1-0 victory over Partizan Belgrade has made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the manager of the Manchester United team, feel the match this time was very meaningful. After continuing to achieve poor results in several previous away games, Manchester United were finally able to escape from the series of defeats with Solskjaer.

Before the victory at Partizan Belgrade, Manchester United did not win in eleven consecutive away games. They only reaped four draws and seven defeats. In fact, in the first nine away games since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as caretaker manager, the Red Devils were undefeated.

During the trip to Partizan Belgrade’s turn to Matchday III of the Europa League, Manchester United were haunted by a poor record. They were threatened to equal the defeated record in 12 away games in March to August 1979. At that time, the Red Devils was handled by Dave Sexton.

At the end of the 1978-79 season until the beginning of the 1979-80 season, the Red Devils with Dave Sexton suffered four defeats. The rest, they were only able to reap eight draws

Four losses were harvested from Coventry City, Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur. The eight draws were obtained against Tottenham (2 times), Middlesbrough, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest, Southampton (2 times), and Arsenal.

For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, success in avoiding Dave Sexton’s bad record is a very crucial capital. Manchester United after this must undergo three consecutive away games. The Red Devils are scheduled to visit Norwich City and Bournemouth in the continuing Premier League, and visit Chelsea headquarters in the Carabao Cup.
