Man Utd boss Solskjaer insists players focused after Young Boys defeat

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says training has been positive after their Champions League defeat to Young Boys.

United go to West Ham United on Sunday.

Solskjaer said, "The attitude is like you expect – focused – not too downbeat. We have to do better, we have five games to get 10-12 points we need. It isn't the start we wanted but good teams can bounce back again.

"We in the end to get judged by outcomes rather than intentions, but we go in with good intentions.

"The outcome decides headlines we will see. Rarely is the game fantastic or bad, it hovers about in-between."

Solskjaer also spoke of Edinson Cavani's fitness.

"Edinson hopefully will start training with us after the weekend, maybe Wednesday. He's had a fantastic season last season, struggled early on with niggly injuries, now we need him 100% fit."
