Manchester United boss has most likely offended some of the Italian club’s fans with a recent throwaway comment as some AS Roma fans have stuck posters of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer up outside the club’s training ground after feeling disrespected by the Manchester United manager.<\/p>\n
The Italian club travel to Old Trafford for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie against the Red Devils\u00a0on Thursday. And some Roma supporters have responded to comments the Norwegian\u00a0made in the immediate aftermath of drawing the Serie A club.<\/p>\n
Solskjaer was quizzed about his side’s next opponents in his post-match BT Sport interview after vanquishing Granada 2-0, to which he responded:<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know them and I haven\u2019t seen them play.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then proceeded to say the match would be a big European tie, given Roma are a club with a lot of history.<\/p>\n
Some Roma fans took offence and retaliated by plastering posters of Solskjaer outside the club’s training ground which read:<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know them and I haven\u2019t seen them play,” followed by the comment ‘make sure he remembers us’\u201d, underneath.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Solskjaer has named former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko as one of Roma’s danger men in the tie.<\/p>\n
He said:<\/p>\n
“Roma defend well, as Italians always do of course. They\u2019re an experienced team and we all know Edin Dzeko, so any ball in the box is a dangerous one.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re looking forward to it, of course. We\u2019re in a semi-final now and it feels like a proper European tie, because Roma is a club with loads of tradition and history, but we\u2019ve done well against Italian teams before.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re looking forward to it and we\u2019re going into these games hoping to get to the final. If you can finish this season with a final and a trophy then that would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n
