Solskjaer: My prime instructions to Man Utd players

Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he's told his players to always play on the front foot.

Solskjaer will take charge for the first time at Old Trafford tomorrow against Huddersfield.

He said, "The players have not said anything about a handbrake [being on]. But we spoke in a team meeting before the Cardiff game about when we get one goal, we want to get two. When you get two, you want to get three. That's just the nature of this team, this club, that you always go and attack.

"It's not going to happen in every game that you create chances like we did on Saturday. You've got to grind it out but it worked and with the blistering pace that we've got up front, they [Cardiff] had to chase the game. I don't think any team would like to have [Jesse] Lingard, [Marcus] Rashford, [Anthony] Martial and [Paul] Pogba running at them, so why should we stop?"
