Solskjaer admits getting Man Utd team selection wrong for Bournemouth defeat

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he fluffed his team selection for defeat at Bournemouth.

United's former Norway striker Josh King grabbed the winner for the Cherries.

And Solskjaer admitted: "We are disappointed but when you come to places like this you have to take control of the game. We did not and we could not get the goal. We were missing some quality at times.

"Maybe I should have started some others. I think we started the game well though so maybe that was not the case. We have to win games like this. We are disappointed. We have to look forward now though."

On conceding, he added: "The first goal was always going to be important. Every time you concede a goal it is bad but we are disappointed with this. We had time to tackle on a couple of occasions. You have to say it was a bit of magic that won the game."
