Solskjaer pleased with Man Utd fight-back: We learned about eachother

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased with the character shown for their 2-2 draw with Burnley.

Solskjaer says they learned a lot about eachother on the night.

He said, “The comeback was brilliant, the players have been asked about how they would react if they went 1-0 or 2-0 down so I felt the comeback was fantastic.

“We had loads of chances, loads of possession, we didn't deserve to lose. But we did it to ourselves really.

“We fought, that wasn't the problem. We were just too slow in possession in the first half.

“For the first goal we played our way into trouble. It wasn't the attitude, the application was too slow and the tempo on the ball wasn't good enough. But the reaction was good.

“We disappointed ourselves and we disappointed the crowd today, but the ones who stayed had a typical Old Trafford finish to the game so that was a big plus."
