Solskjaer’s speechless after defeat

-

look at myself and say, ‘This is how I want Man Utd to play.’”

And when asked if he was now living on borrowed time, under-pressure boss Solskjaer said: “No, I don’t start to feel that. I’m in good communicat­ion with the club and as long as I am here I want to do what I can do to improve this.”

United were second best throughout as City cruised to victory with almost embarrassi­ng ease at Old Trafford.

And United legend Roy Keane

(below) ripped into Solskjaer’s flops after another abject performanc­e.

He said: “It felt worse (than against Liverpool). City were happy to keep the ball and toyed with United.

“The difference in class, decision making, everything. It was men v boys.

“The lack of quality, particular­ly in midfield, they are so short. I’d like to go hard on the United players but I feel sorry for them. They’re just not up to playing for United.”

Solskjaer admits the internatio­nal break has come at a good time – even though it gives the Glazer family a two-week window to axe him and find his replacemen­t before the visit to Watford on November 20.

He added: “As a group we have had a difficult spell. We thought we had come through it but this was a big step backwards. We have to come out against Watford like a hurt animal.”

Reds midfielder Bruno Fernandes pulled no punches and said: “Everyone has to look at themselves.

“You have to look in the mirror at what you are doing wrong. You cannot change the mentality of anyone else, you have to look at yourself and understand what you can do better.”

But City star Phil Foden said: “We had the game of our lives today.

“Everything went right, a lot of possession and chances. We dominated from start to finish.”
