Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke to the media this afternoon to preview his side’s Premier League clash with Everton.
The Red Devils scraped past Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday night, Cristiano Ronaldo’s late winner securing some revenge for United following their Europa League final defeat by the Spanish club at the end of last season. Next up are Rafael Benitez’s Everton, who beat Norwich 2-0 in the Premier League last time out to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Aston Villa, whose most recent top-flight result was a 1-0 win over United at Old Trafford.
Kortney Hause’s later goal in that game saw United slip to fourth in the Premier League table, though they are level on 13 points with second and third-placed Man City and Chelsea, and they only trail leaders Liverpool by one points. Solskjaer reflected upon the victory over Villarreal and provided updates on the fitness of defenders Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, as well as forwards Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo. He also spoke about Donny van de Beek’s frustration over a lack of game time.
