Solskjaer wants more risk taking from Man Utd players

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants more risk taking from his players.

United host Liverpool on Sunday.

"Of course, it's about results and [to] start winning games and start scoring goals, which is the main thing," insisted Solskjaer. “We need to create more chances because, at the back, I think we've looked solid, but we haven't been adventurous enough, taking enough risks.

“If you watch the best teams around, they risk the ball more often than we do, make more runs in behind and that's part of the process for the boys.

“When they're losing confidence, maybe they want to play a bit more safe and it's my duty to say 'come on'. It's not safety here. At this club, you do take risks."
