Burned and defeated. And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits they were not good enough after losing 2-0 to Burnley at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
They were trailing in the first half as Chris Wood scored in the 39 minutes and booed off at half-time. Jay Rodriguez added the second goal of the game, and again the team were booed and large parts of Old Trafford emptied with five minutes to go.<\/p>\n
“The players are giving everything, they have done absolutely fantastic so far this season but they know it wasn’t good enough tonight,” Ole told BBC.<\/p>\n
“The boys looked mentally tired towards the end, we didn’t find that creativity.<\/p>\n
“We can’t feel sorry for ourselves. When you are at Man United you are privileged because you are playing for the best club in the world.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes you go through periods like that and it is a test I am sure they are going to come through.”<\/p>\n
Burnley victory means United suffered their 8th defeat of the season and trailed six points off Chelsea and Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n
The absence of Marcus Rashford with a stress facture of the back lead to the rumors that United are looking for a new player.<\/p>\n
“We have got our targets,” Ole said.<\/p>\n
“This is our second defeat at home and first since August. I thought we had turned that corner.<\/p>\n
“We have started a clear-out and now I am going to be answering these questions until it [transfer window] closes. We are working on things.<\/p>\n
“For me the most important thing is we have to perform on the pitch. Tonight wasn’t good enough for a Manchester United team.”<\/p>\n
United will play in the 5th round of FA Cup, before playing the second leg of semi-final of Carabao Cup against Man City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
