Ole Gunnar Solskjær admitted that Manchester United’s 6-1 win against Tottenham at Old Trafford – the club’s record loss in the Premier League – was “embarrassing” but took the blame for their “worst day”.
It means United have lost their first two league games at home for the first time in 34 seasons and have just three points from their first three games.
An ashen-faced Solskjær said: “I raise my hand, it’s my fault. It’s very embarrassing, it hurts all the players, it hurts me as a coach. It’s the worst day of my life. “
“It is the worst day of my career as a Manchester United manager and the worst day for all of them as United players. [but] It is not the worst day in Manchester United history, we have recovered before.
“Explaining it now is quite difficult. We were beaten 6-1 at home by a very good team, but we have contributed a lot to our own downfall.
Alex Telles del Porto, with a contract of more than 17 million euros, and Edinson Cavani, in a free transfer, are ready to join, the left-back and the 33-year-old forward join the arrival of Donny van Beek in the summer. While Diego Dalot has been loaned out to Milan, with the window closing on Monday, Solskjær was again faced with questions as to why the Telles and Cavani deals are coming to an end.
The manager referred to the coronavirus pandemic. “That [the timing] It is not a problem. The world is different now, ”Solskjær said. “It is not about getting players, but about who is here.
“Today is the worst. I can’t say more than that. Today there are many errors. We need to look at everything.
“It is not good enough. When you have a defeat like this you have to look in the mirror. They are leaving out of international duty and that those who stay have time to work. That is difficult because we have to unite and fight. “
At halftime, United trailed 4-1 on goals from Tanguy Ndombele, two from Son Heung-min and one from Harry Kane. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the second minute with a penalty.
United’s misery was compounded when Serge Aurier and Kane joined the bill in the second half.
Anthony Martial had been sent off at 28 minutes for placing his hand on Erik Lamela’s face after the latter pushed Erik Lamela first in the stomach and head. Solskjær was upset with the Argentine. “Lamela must be undergoing surgery,” he said. “If that was my son, he would live on bread and water for two weeks.”
Tottenham coach José Mourinho, Solskjær’s predecessor at Old Trafford, said: “I have sympathy for him. It happened because the team is phenomenal and has great character and a lot of confidence ”. – Guardian
