MU failed to defeat Leicester, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explained the reason

DBasia.news – Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, admitted that he was disappointed after the Red Devils were only able to win a draw at Leicester City headquarters. The manager thinks his team deserved to win in that match.

Manchester United played 2-2 when they visited Leicester City’s headquarters in the 2020-2021 Premier League match, at King Power Stadium, Saturday (26/12). In fact, Man United have two superior situations from the host.

Marcus Rashford’s goal was equalized by Harvey Barnes in the 31st minute. Then, Man United’s 2-1 lead inspired by Bruno Fernandes was matched by Axel Tuanzebe’s own goal five minutes from time.

According to Solskjaer, Leicester’s two goals shouldn’t have happened. As Man United had the ability to anticipate attacks.

“The two goals should have been anticipated. The first goal was highly anticipated if we could stop the cross,” said Solskjaer to MUTV.

“Meanwhile, if we saw the second goal, we should have anticipated it better,” explained the tactician.

“If we were able to excel first, we should be able to control the match. In the first half, we couldn’t do that. However, in the second half, we should have been able to control the match.”

However, Solskjaer did not blame his players for the second goal. He considered that it was challenging to stem Jamie Vardy’s movement.

“However, once again, a player with the quality of Jamie Vardy can hurt anyone,” stated Solskjaer.

Now, Manchester United are in fourth place in the standings with 27 points from 14 matches. Meanwhile, the leaders, Liverpool, have 31 points from an identical number of games.
