Former Norway coach Nils Johan Semb says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves great credit for Manchester United's record away from home.

United's last away loss in the Premier League came at Anfield, against Liverpool on 19 January last year. The Prem leaders will visit Liverpool this Sunday.

"It is a very interesting statistic, it is very strong," Semb told VG.

"He has the credit for a lot of it. He has had hard pressure on him and there have been many who have had little faith in his project.

"Solskjær has been clear on which players he has wanted in and out of the team, which creates a sense of security in the squad.

"He has moved Anthony Martial in and up at the top, he also has Marcus Rashford, who is very useful. But the most important thing has been the way they have put Bruno Fernandes in place.

"He has been extremely important to get a good link between the deep midfielders and the attacking players."
