Manchester United Can Turn The Doubts Into Belief - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has aimed a cheeky dig at Manchester City ahead of their derby clash at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. According to Ole, he is happy that both clubs play every year now. This is seen as a dig because when Ole was still a player, City were far from being a big club. At some point, Man City even dropped as far as League One, with the rivalry between both clubs not being as feisty as it is now. Ole believes it will be a difficult match tomorrow as his team searches for consistency. His words, "At least we play every year now! “It took many years before I played a Manchester derby myself. “It’s changed in a way, Manchester City are a better team now than when I was playing. “Football has changed quite a lot, you were allowed a few more proper tackles with every little angle, everything being scrutinised now. “It’s more of a technical, tactical game than physical and mental. A derby should be played as a derby, we don’t play basketball and we’re ready if that happens." On the game, “We’re going away against arguably the best team in England. “Difficult game but we need consistency. “I said it before this is a chance for everyone. There was doom and gloom but it’s a chance to turn that doubt into belief and for us, if we can manage to get another performance the confidence, the way we played against Tottenham, if we can do that at the Etihad we can come out of it with a result. “People say ‘why do you not have better results in other games’ but the Premier League is hard, no matter who you play, it’s margins. “I think it’s a compliment to the league, you’ve got City, Liverpool, Leicester consistent but the other games are really tight.”
