Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come out to say that Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial both picked up muscle injuries during Saturday’s 3-1 win vs West Ham.
He recently revealed that he hopes the injuries were not that bad, because they are very important players to his team.
According to him, the first half was very poor vs West Ham but the important goals in the 2nd half sealed the much needed win for the club.
He added that he is very pleased with MUFC’s away form, and he likes the fact that the players are becoming more and more consistent every week.
His words, “Injuries. It is unfortunate. Sometimes you get muscle injuries. Edi had to come off with an injury, hopefully it’s not too bad. Anthony had to come as as well. Bruno is part of this team and 45 minutes was enough.”
On the victory, “Football is up and down. First half we struggled to keep up with their counter attack and set plays. We gave the ball away too often. Poor first half, second half of course the goal changes the mood.”
“We played against a team that had drawn with Manchester City and beaten Leicester and Wolves. They are a good team and make it difficult for you. I am very, very pleased with the performance. Last week we were 2-0 down at Southampton and this was a step forward, we were only one down.
“Of course you are very, very happy with the away form. I think the home form is decent, we are becoming more and more consistent and we are coping better with games like this. When you are 1-0, 2-0 down the boys still believe and that character is important.
“At the end of the season you don’t care about the performance. At the moment we know there are things we need to improve on, some simple passes in the first half but the second half that quality came back and all three goals were exceptional.”
