“We have to be, no-one in the world of football, no team has got a chance against them without being a collective and a hungry team and you know you have to defend really well, but you have to be positive as well on the ball.”
On the clean sheet that the Red Devils got, Solksjaer said they have to keep defending.
“You have to defend for so long and they have got players who are incredible.
“The tactics are brave and they play in such a way where there are threats everywhere – right, left, centre.
