GOOD MORNING MAN UTD FANS
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blamed United’s loss to Leicester in the FA Cup on his busy schedule and his weekday trip to Milan.
The Red Devils were well off the beat when their FA Cup hopes were crushed by the Foxes.
He told the BBC: “We didn’t get the spark tonight, but it’s understandable. This team has been fantastic in the last three or four months.”
“We play every three days and we’ve had a great streak. It just caught up with us, all the games and trips.
“Thursday night in Milan was a great night and it cost us a lot physically. Today we did not have the energy, the authority and the extra confidence.
“We try to get on our feet and start well, because sometimes you can get that boost of adrenaline and confidence if you score a goal and that can push you to the limit.
“We have too many players who have played too many games and too many who haven’t really had much football,
“Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, Paul Pogba and others who haven’t had enough football are trying to get in. We didn’t have enough against a tough team.”
Meanwhile, on the transfers front, SunSport’s Dan King revealed that United is considering a summer move of more than £ 50 million for Wolves star Pedro Neto.
The Red Devils have made hiring a right winger one of their top priorities and Neto’s impressive season, despite the Wolves’ struggles, has landed him on the short list of Old Trafford bosses.
Utd could have signed Neto, 21, for next to nothing in 2016 when he came to Carrington on probation from Portuguese Braga, but he didn’t do enough to convince them to buy him.
But it is now understood that United regards the Portugal international, Wolves’ £ 16m signing from Italian club Lazio, as a genuine alternative to long-term targets like Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish.
Manchester City’s rivals have also been linked to Neto, but sources insist they are now ahead of United in the tail of Villa captain Grealish.
And finally, Dan James is poised to push Wales’s bid for the 2022 World Cup.
Dragons keeper Robert Page said: “DJ has played in the past even without playing club level minutes, but it is beneficial for us if they have players that are playing week after week.
“He has worked very hard to get back to the team. It seems like a threat every time he plays.
“He’s back to playing football at the highest level and he doesn’t seem out of place at all. It’s great for us.”
