Manchester United reserves coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rapped his young players for being given the runaround by Hull veteran Dean Windass this week.

The Reds' second string were beaten 2-1 by a more experienced Hull City side on Tuesday evening, with Windass among the scorers, and Solskjaer cites the 39-year-old as a perfect example of the right attitude.

"We had a really young side out, but that's no excuse," Solskjaer told MUTV. "I think Windass and a couple of Hull's other old lads showed the desire and the right example for these kids.

"He's about 23 years older than my youngest player here today, but he showed the desire of any of ours. He's a great example for everyone of how to be a professional footballer."
