Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has fired a shot at journalists and critics who are trying to engineer ‘lies’ in the fallout from Manchester United’s 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool at the Theater of Dreams.

Recall that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba posted earlier debunk claims that he snubbed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after he got red-carded during Manchester United lost to Liverpool.

During his pre-match press conference ahead of United’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, Solskjaer said United players had ‘gone into the trenches’ in response to their fifth defeat in the last nine.

“Good, why shouldn’t I be? I’m talking to you lot,” Solskjaer replied when asked how he was. “It’s been a difficult week, of course, we’ve had to deal with the result and performance against Liverpool, which we know wasn’t good enough and that’s something that footballers have to deal with.

“That’s why we’re in this game, you have to look forward to the next game, make sure you’re ready for that game and when you get to that next game sort out what has been challenging and the problems earlier on

“We’ve had a good week, a good week on the training field, I have to say that.

“We need a reaction and it’s my job as well to put the players in the right frame of mind, I’m responsible for the reaction, the result, the performance. We’ve worked on the pitch, we’ve worked on everything that needs to be sorted for a footballer.Information Guide Nigeria

“It’s not just frame of mind, it’s the approach, strategy, gameplan, tactics, technically, we’ve had a good week and I feel the boys are ready to give their best, as they always do. Of course, nothing went to plan (against Liverpool) and that was nowhere near our best.

“I think [the criticism] affects everyone around, I spoke about it last week, I think Mikel Arteta said something about what we have to deal with, as managers in high profile situations, and that’s what we’ve got used to.
