Ole Gunnar Solksjaer Praises Manchester United For Improving


Manchester United bounced back to top five of the Premier League after claiming 2-0 win against Manchester City on Sunday with Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay scoring both goals.

Ederson Moraes was pointed out as the one to blame for the two goals conceded by City for his poor goalkeeping skills that resulted in Scott scoring from 30-yard. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's view is different though as he believed his team is on the rise and will continue to improve.

"What a day they've had today, both the players and the fans. Of course, they make us defend - that's just the type of team they are," said Solksjaer after the match.

United have been unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions, having reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and also the Europa League, they have two titles in view under the Norwegian manager.

"It's a privilege to be the manager of a squad of players with this attitude," the 47-year-old added. "We're going to improve, we're going to improve as a team, they're going to improve as players. They want to learn as well and they listen to the advice we give them."

Bruno Fernandes is one player that Solksjaer could not hold back expressing his delight in for his contributions to the team's improvement since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon in January. Solksjaer acknowledged Bruno's efforts describing him as one who is humble and committed to the team.

The Portuguese assisted in putting United ahead against City with a lob pass from a free-kick that set Martial off for the strike that resulted in the opening goal. Overall, he has scored two goals and created eleven chances in five league games.
