Man Utd boss Solskjaer insists no pressure to challenge for title

Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has said he was not under any pressure, saying that he’s happy where they sit in the Premier League standings.

United are in second place behind runaway leaders Manchester City.

Solskjaer said: “The pressure has not been there at all, that’s the Premier League.

“We enjoy being as close to the top as possible, but that’s the quality of the opposition, the tactics and the standards the season demands.

“It’s the strangest year of all for everyone.”

He added: “I don’t think anyone has surprised me as we know what they’re capable.

“Impressed with the way they’ve handled the season, the situation with the pandemic and not being able to have socialising with their friends.

“It’s relentless, Thursday, Sunday, Saturday. This year has been the strangest of all our lives. We didn’t live in the Second World War thankfully but these restrictions have been nearly as harsh.

“This squad has been brilliant.”
