Man Utd boss Solskjaer defends late Wolves arrival: Have you seen their dressing rooms?

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits they arrived late deliberately for yesterday's 0-0 draw at FA Cup opponents Wolves.

United's bus arrived at Molineux an hour and ten minutes before kickoff.

Solskjaer explained, "Have you been to the locker rooms? You won't stay there for long. An hour and a quarter is more than enough time to prepare.

"At home we have large dressing rooms, but in some places ... We travel with a large support system, so we planned to arrive one hour and a quarter before the start of the match.

"We could have chosen to come here two hours before the match, but it is about what is the best preparation for the team and the players. We felt it was better to come one hour and a quarter than one hour and 45 minutes."

Asked specifically what's wrong with the Molineux changerooms, he added: "They are just smaller, and with lots of people, support staff and equipment. And sometimes the music is cruel."
