Man Utd late season schedule unacceptable - Solskjaer

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has continued his tirade against the late season schedule.

Solskjaer has dubbed the situation unacceptable.

He said, "Two games in three days is difficult but you can accept that we do that at Christmas. Two games in three days after a long season, with all the games we've had - even more difficult. Three games in five days - very, very difficult, almost impossible. Four games in eight, it is impossible.

"I'm not sitting here sulking but I'm saying someone there does not understand the physicality of the Premier League. It's the best league in world. I don't know how you can defend playing these three games in such a short space of time. I've got to look after the players.

"That might be someone not happy with my team selection for one game or two games. That might affect whoever gets into the fourth position or the Champions League. That's not my problem. That's everyone else's problem."
