​Solskjaer criticises referee for 'two mistakes' in surprise Man Utd defeat

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was unhappy with the referee during his side's 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United.

The Blades put in their best display of the season and nabbed a remarkable win at the high flying Red Devils' home stadium.

Solskjaer admitted his side did not merit a win, but was unhappy with the referee as well.

"Foul," was Solskjaer's response when asked by BT Sport reporter Des Kelly about the first Sheffield United goal.

"It's a foul. Billy Sharp just runs into him so he can't get up, so it's a foul."

And when asked about Anthony Martial's disallowed effort, Solskjaer said: "No foul... but it's this kind of season, inconsistencies, so it's going to be unpredictable.

"But it's two mistakes by the referee."

He later said to BBC Sport: "Two wrong decisions, that's how it is, it's that kind of season, inconsistent and the referee missed those two."
