Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he hopes to have left Manchester United in a better state than he inherited them three years ago after the Norwegian was sacked by the club on Sunday. But silverware escaped Solskjaer as he lost four cup semi-finals and last season’s Europa League final in a marathon penalty shootout to Villarreal. But United have lost five of their last seven league games to fall 12 points behind leaders Chelsea. “As I’ve said to them this morning as well, trust yourselves, you know we’re better than this,” he added. “We’ve not been able to show it but go out, chest out, enjoy being a Man United player, in the Champions League, on the biggest stage.
