Man Utd boss Solskjaer snaps: This won't be the De Gea press conference

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in defiant mood at today's media conference.

Solskjaer faced more questions over De Gea in the build-up to Wednesday's Premier League clash with West Ham at Old Trafford following the Spaniard's error-strewn display in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

"David is mentally strong enough to know his job is to perform in training the next day and be ready for the games," said Solskjaer.

"That's your job to talk about and write about, and my job is to prepare a team for West Ham.

"We're not going to talk about individuals because no one here will feel we put more pressure on them.

"This is not going to become a David de Gea press conference, we're just going to stick together and stay strong.

"There are two games to go and we've given ourselves a good chance."
