Solskjaer promises Man Utd fans: No excuses next season!

Manchester United manger Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has promised fans there will be "no excuses" if the club fail to deliver next season.

The Red Devils finished sixth in the Premier League this season, 32 points behind champions Manchester City.

They will return to preseason on July 1 and Solskjaer says his players will hit the ground running.

"We're going to sit down and go through all the plans with the physical coaches and with the coaches and we'll be ready when July 1 comes," said Solskjaer.

"There are not going to be any excuses.

"You never get a break from football. You always think about it. Even if I'm back home now in Norway, I'm watching games and analysing games from towards the end of the season.

"I don't want to switch off completely. I can switch off the phone once in a while, but you don't switch off the brain.

"Maybe there will be a day or two without thinking about it but, of course, we've got a big job preparing for next season with player logistics and training logistics."
