Speaking after the Game against Leicester City, Ole Gunnar Solskjær has stated that the whole team is responsible for the loss and has refused to blame the duo of Pogba and Matic .
"We were too easy to play through," Solskjaer said via MEN
"I wouldn't say that's all on Nemanja and Paul, that's the team as a whole.
"We need to be compact, we need to be more aggressive, we dealt with the runs in behind well enough but maybe dropping off them a bit gave them too much space.
"But that's the whole team, not just Paul and Nemanja. I've not heard what Brendan's said but if he felt that...
"We weren't good enough on the second balls, didn't win the 50-50s, didn't nick the ball, or win the ball in good enough areas because we're so good at winning it and going forward and didn't see enough of that today.
"I agree we didn't defend well enough."
Manchester United Currently Occupies 5th Position on the League table and could go further down if Everton and Tottenham secure a win against their Opponents.
United still have some tough games to play this month. The team Faces Atalanta next in the UCL before Playing Liverpool and Tottenham in the EPL.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær's Fate as a United Coach may well be decided after these Games.
