Solskjaer: Man Utd and I face major tests ahead

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows he and his team face tests of their mentality in the future.

Solskjaer passed his biggest test with United's 1-0 win away to third-placed Tottenham on Sunday, but admitted other hurdles will come when they do concede first or eventually lose.

“Yeah, it will be a different test for me and the players — how do we react when we go 1-0 down?" said the former Cardiff boss, who is currently on loan from Norwegian club Molde.

“I've been 1-0 down a few times as a manager, but I haven't had players like this.

“The defeat is the end product. During a game, you have reactions all the time. It's about the reactions you have on the pitch. We will lose a game and will have to react to it. I know they have the character to turn it round and I know I do have that ­character."
