Man Utd boss Solskjaer on away form: Do I look concerned?

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he isn't worried by their poor away form ahead of the trip to West Ham.

They have not won away from Old Trafford in eight games since the sensational 3-1 victory at Paris Saint-Germain in early March, losing five of them.

"Why should we coaches be concerned?" he said. "We're looking forward to things, looking for solutions. I've never been concerned about anything really. I don't walk around and worry about things. I'm looking what we can do to improve. I've never been a worrier.

"I think we should have won at Southampton, I think we should have won the Wolverhampton one. Both should be wins.

"It's still the same size pitch, green with white lines, some fans. You've got to block out the mental part and play as you would in the park.

"Last year we were lucky to beat them (West Ham). It will be a good test again for us. We've had two clean sheets now, and that will give the defenders confidence. If we can keep a clean sheet, it will be easier for the strikers. You don't have to score twos, threes and fours every time."
