MANCHESTER: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the bond between Manchester United players and fans is returning after completing a first Premier League derby double over Manchester City for 10 years at Old Trafford on Sunday.
“The desire, attitude, commitment, the connection between fans and players,” said Solskjaer on what had pleased him most.“It’s a derby. The fans love it, the players love it. You can say it’s only three points, but to beat a team like Manchester City with the problems we’ve had is fantastic.” A seventh league defeat of the campaign for Pep Guardiola’s men means Liverpool are now just a maximum of two wins away from claiming a first league title in 30 years.
“The reality is that the pressure is not on the Premier League. We know our position is not changing a lot because we won’t get to the title.“It’s important for our fans and it’s not acceptable to lose 2-0.”The visitors’ defensive deficiencies that have allowed Liverpool to streak 25 points clear were also obvious as Daniel James and Martial fired too close to Ederson with big chances on the counterattack.But it was an uncharacteristic error from the Brazilian that gifted United the lead.
United fans were frustrated VAR did not intervene on that occasion and when it did early in the second half, City were nearly the beneficiaries.
