Change overdue admits Pogba

-

From Back Page games for a long time. We have not found the problem, conceding easy goals, stupid goals.

“We need to be more mature, play with more experience and arrogance in a good way.

“We need to find something, we need to change.”

Solskjaer said: “We need to look at the whole set-up of the team, the whole balance of the team – maybe something has to give for it.

“It shouldn’t be a wake-up call because we’ve had them before.

“The players have got to look at themselves in the mirror. I’ve looked at myself in the mirror.

“That’s the nature of football. You have got to respond to set-backs.”

United’s title dream now hangs by a thread as they go into a period which will see them face Liverpool, Tottenham, Man City and Chelsea.

Solskjaer said his side got what they deserved yesterday, though, and added: “When you look at the game, the four goals we conceded were poor.

“The way we played, we don’t deserve to continue that unbeaten away run. I pick the team, Harry Maguire showed no reaction to his injury and I hold my hand up if that does not work out. I probably made a couple of bad decisions.

“Lately we’ve not been in great form, lost too many points and that is something we have to look at. Do we need more legs in there? What do we need?”

United fell apart in the closing stages as their sloppy defending cost them again and Solskjaer said: “I am not making excuses for the team I put out there, they are top footballer­s and we haven’t produced.

“The performanc­e was not good enough, two goals from set-pieces is disappoint­ing. The one positive was Marcus Rashford coming back in. He’s got legs and is sharp so that’s a big bonus.”
