Wolves 2-1 Manchester United: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blasts players for putting in worst performance of his managerial reign
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blasted his players for putting in the ‘poorest performance’ of his reign as Manchester United’s caretaker manager in Saturday’s FA Cup defeat by Wolves.The Red Devils were knocked out the FA Cup – their most ‘winnable’ competition this season – at the quarter-final stage, with Nuno’s side triumphing on a famous night at Molineux.2

Raul Jimenez’s strike on the turn and a superb solo effort from Diogo Jota put Wolves on course for victory against a ragged United side lacking the skill, verve and intensity that Solskjaer had instilled.A late Marcus Rashford goal did nothing to lift the mood and the interim manager had no complaints about the result of this quarter-final clash.“It was a big step backwards, I’ve got to say,” Solskjaer said. “That’s the poorest performance since I’ve come here.

Of course, we’re disappointed, everyone is disappointed, but we have got to look forward and look behind the result today.“We’ve done that quite well. We know that we’ve played well against Arsenal last week and didn’t get what we deserved.“Today we got what we deserved because we never deserved to win this game.”The reversal of Victor Lindelof’s red card on the Video Assistant Referee’s advice counted for little and Wolves boss Nuno was understandably delighted after sealed a spot at Wembley.“It means a lot, it means a lot,” the Portuguese said. “The FA Cup is the oldest competition there is.2

Nuno’s side were well deserving of their victory

“We played well and we achieved it with the amazing support of our fans, pushing us and believing in us.“The noise was fantastic, so when you achieve something I see that we did it together. We did it together.“We did it with Liverpool, with Shrewsbury. It was tough. But we have to go and prepare ourselves for the next one.”
