​Solskjaer wants consistency from Man Utd: We can fix mentality

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to see some consistency from his team.

United have won their last two Premier League games - their first back to back wins in the league all season.

Those results came at home against Tottenham and away to Manchester City in less than a week.

Now United have games against Everton, Watford, Newcastle, and Burnley, and their manager knows they must learn how to win those clashes.

"If it's a mental thing, then we can sort it out," said Solskjaer to reporters after the City win.

"We'll work with the mentality of the boys.

"For me, it's been very much about margins in those games. Some freak results that we can't control.

"I'm not so worried, so concerned. If the boys are then telling me they can't get up for these games – then we've got a problem.

"Then I've really got to work with them because, when I played, that's how we won the league.

"We never gave points away against the lesser teams, the not-so-good teams.

"The Premier League is difficult – if you don't have that mentality you won't get results. I'll work on the mentality."
