Ole Gunnar Solskjaer agrees with Roy Keane that Manchester United missed a fight against Arsenal in Sunday’s loss at Old Trafford.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot when Mikel Arteta’s Gunners took all three points from the clash.
Former Red Devils captain Keane attacked the Man United stars showing a lack of “energy” and “enthusiasm” after the game.
And Solskjaer did the same in his post-match press conference.
“Well, in the first half there were no tackles, no fights. In football now you have to create an environment yourself,” said the United manager.
“These games against Arsenal were always fierce, flying tickets.

“I think today we didn’t have the pace or the intensity, absolutely, and I was disappointed with the performance of the first half.
“In the second half I thought we were better. Unfortunately, they got the penalty and we just couldn’t produce the answer.”
Manchester United have been unpredictable this season.
In the Champions League they have sidelined players such as Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig, while in the Premier League they have lost to Crystal Palace and 6-1 to Spurs.
Keane worries that if United can’t find a level of consistency in competition, Solskjaer will find himself at the stake.

“I’m very, very concerned about Manchester United right now,” Keane told Sky Sports.
“Where do you want me to start? Lack of energy, enthusiasm and a real lack of quality. That really worried me. No quality, no composure.
“Some of the performances were really bad. Did they turn a corner? It’s the longest corner in history. I’m just not convinced by these players.
“I don’t see any leaders out there. There is a real lack of quality. There is a long way back for this club.
“Look [Marcus] Rashford up close today. His body language was shocking.

“Did he shrug when things didn’t go his way? You roll up your sleeves when you play for Manchester United.”
He added: “I judge the players by their actions and I just don’t see it. I never looked at a coach hoping to motivate me, that comes from within.”
“Ole will lose his job working with these players, as the night follows the day, that’s what will happen.”
