Man Utd boss Solskjaer on Barcelona defeat: Plusses and negatives

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is adamant their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Barcelona is still alive.

A Luke Shaw own goal separates the teams going to Barcelona for the second-leg.

Solskjaer said, "Plusses and negatives. We started sloppy and a bit nervous. After their goal we settled and played well.

"We had very good individual performances in midfield. At times it felt like a proper Man Utd team, the crowd were behind us, we got out wide and got crosses in.

"We didn't start great, but great goal and movement from Messi and Suarez but they're fortunate it comes off Luke Shaw. It's a blow but we settled well. We're still in this tie."
