Solskjaer admits Man Utd 'a shambles' for last Everton clash

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits they were a "shambles" in April when they last were beaten by Sunday's opponents Everton.

A 4-0 defeat at Goodison Park was the low point of Solskjaer's reign as United manager and he admitted recently that his players simply gave up that day.

"We lost quite clearly against Everton last season," he admitted.

"We've spoken enough about what happened that day and how we looked like a team. It was more or less a shambles, but I've said too many times this year as well, we're not that group anymore.

"This is a different group, a group that's ready for the fight and is ready for the football.

"Mentality sometimes is strange to explain. The mood is the camp is different, definitely.

"The group is going in the right direction now. They've got a chance every single day in training. There won't be any leeway.

"You don't play here if you don't want to go in the same direction as the majority of the group or the whole group. If you're the one or two odd men out, you'd probably know."
