Solskjaer admits Man Utd can't disregard FA Cup

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits they can't disregard the FA Cup while they have no chance of winning the Premier League.

United host Wolves on Wednesday night in a third round replay, with Solskjaer warning they must accept being a cup side until they can challenge for the title again.

“Supporters and the club alike aren't happy with not challenging for the top position in the league," said Solskjaer.

“That's where we feel we should be and many of today's supporters have lived that period where we won the league consistently.

“At the moment we don't have that type of team, because in time we've been a bit behind the top ones.

“It might be that we start with winning a cup and then these players will get that taste. But that's not what we want to be.

“We want to be challenging for the league and the Champions League."
