Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims Manchester United believe they can beat ‘anyone anywhere’

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United has a belief to beat “anyone anywhere” after coming second in the Premier League with a win over Wolves last night.

Solskjaer maintained that it is too early to talk about United as title contenders after just 15 games this season, but injury time winner Marcus Rashford sent them to 2021 at the top.

“This result is huge for attitude,” said the United manager.

‘We are a different team now, better mentally and physically. That belief has come through performances and results and players we have on the field who can change the game in a second.

You get that through personalities and recruiting, of course. We’ve added that spark, I think, but also when you get results and things are going your way, that helps.

“ We brought it up early in the preseason the need to add more points on the board towards the end of games. That is something we do as a club several times this season.

“The belief is that they believe we can win against anyone, anywhere.”

Solskjaer was reluctant to be fooled by United’s chances of winning the league title

However, Solskjaer was reluctant to be lured by United’s chances of winning the title for the first time in eight years.

“There is no title race after 15 games,” he added. “You can lose the opportunity to be in the race in the first 10 games, of course, but we can start talking about that when we get to March and April.”

Solskjaer expressed his sympathy for the Wolves, who had a quick turnaround after playing Tottenham on Sunday and had to take out a young team.

“I feel a bit for Wolverhampton,” he said. ‘They have only had one day of recovery and that is not right. The players deserve at least two days in between, I think it showed towards the end.

“We have fought them in the past. We have played them seven times and this is the first win in the league for me. So it’s a big step forward. ‘

Match winner Marcus Rashford noted that Rayan Ait-Nouri had been treated for a cramp before taking on the young Wolves defender and scoring the goal in injury time.

“The winger had a cramp a few minutes earlier,” Rashford said. “ So I had it in my head, I wanted to go to him and spin it and see if he could make something happen. Fortunately, we did get a detour in the end.

“It was probably not the most beautiful, but we will take what we can and move on.”

However, the boss of the Wolves, Nuno Espirito Santo, did not seek sympathy.

“This is football and a learning process,” he said. ‘It’s cruel in the moment, but you can’t keep feeling sorry. Yo have to go ahead.

‘We create opportunities. Sometimes we should finish more. ‘
