The schedule does not level playing field says Norwegian. FMTNews
LONDON: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has voiced his frustration over how Manchester United’s preparations for their derby against Manchester City have been impeded by the scheduling of their midweek FA Cup tie.
Solskjaer aired a similar grievance about the Premier League after winning at Chelsea last month on a Monday, saying he could not understand why they did not play on the Saturday following the winter break. United go into the derby with some momentum, having set up an FA Cup quarterfinal with Norwich and taken their unbeaten run to nine matches in all competitions.
