Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that Jose Mourinho was right about the attitude problem at Manchester United.
The Portuguese became the pantomime villain at Old Trafford after he continually came out in the press to slam the application of certain individuals at the club.
Eventually Mourinho was sacked, with Solskjaer coming in to replace him on a temporary basis, putting an arm around the players and securing results.
The Norwegian was then handed the job permanently, but things have started to go down hill rapidly, with the Red Devils being battered 4-0 by Everton last time out.
Gary Neville was very vocal on Sky Sports about certain players 'pretending to work hard' but jogging when they should have been running.

And now Solskjaer has hinted that he is aware of the same problems Mourinho encountered at the club.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Solskjaer said: "Sometimes when you speak to the press, when I'm speaking to you know, you can't defend them.
"The players know it and they don't defend it themselves, they are good lads and we just keep on working on changing some of these attitudes.

"If you are not willing to learn, if you are not willing to pick up the mantle or when you're left out that means there are two things you can do: you can either leave it or you can work harder to get back in to tell me and the club and you team-mates that you want to get back into the team.
"They have got decisions to make the ones who feel they aren't getting the chances they deserve."
