(Reuters) - Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expressed his frustration at the Football Association's scheduling after local rivals Manchester City were handed an extra day to recover ahead of Sunday's derby.
United eased past Derby County 3-0 in the FA Cup fifth round on Thursday, but City have had an extra day to prepare for their Premier League trip to Old Trafford after beating Sheffield Wednesday a day earlier.
"It was the same when we beat them last time to be fair, we played Wednesday and they played Tuesday. Those 24 hours are important so we've got to be good at recovering now."Meanwhile Guardiola's City have won their last five matches, including a Wembley final against Aston Villa for their third straight League Cup title.
