Solskjaer: Man Utd players should improve being under pressure

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the pressure his players are facing should improve them.

United go to Watford on Saturday needing a victory.

Solskjaer said: "Of course, we know that with a poor run of form we put ourselves under pressure, that pressure should be a joy, it should make us a better team, make player perform at the best level and it's a game to go into and enjoy.

"I don't know how many games we've had away from home. We lost to Leicester, but the unbeaten record before that is something we need to draw confidence from. Watford is a very big game, as every game in Premier League is."

On how his side can recover from recent disappointing results, he added: "The players, the staff, myself, the club, we are working to one goal to improve, get better results, fans are still supporting the team and the club, they've been through this period, backed the team through the rebuild.

"When you lose a game you're always disappointed and under pressure, we've been communicating openly and honestly. There's one game that matters and what goes on after that. This week has been really good for training."
