Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made mistake in Man Utd dressing room, says Ian Wright

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 'set a bad precedent' in the dressing room after Manchester United's 2-1 defeat by Wolves, according to Ian Wright.

Solskjaer's Red Devils got off to a good start at the Molineux when Scott McTominay opened the scoring, but an Ashley Young red card and two goals conceded saw them lose their seventh Premier League game of the season.

Solskjaer attempted to retain the confidence of his players after the match, and in stark opposite to what Jose Mourinho would have done, praised the team's performance.

But Arsenal favourite Wright reckons by doing this the Norwegian has exposed a weakness.

"Too many players had a bad day today and they did create chances but Wolves played well," Wright told Premier League Productions.

"I feel that Ole may have set a bad precedent by saying that his team played well and that he is happy with what they did.

"I think that when we go through the team and look at what players played well, they didn't play well.

"So when you go back into the dressing room and say, 'well done we played well and should have won because of the chances we created', then that would just make me think we didn't play well.

"And if you're going to start doing that then that is a weakness because we are hearing the same person coming out and telling us about Manchester United and their high standards.

"That was not a good Manchester United performance so if he thinks it was then that sets alarm bells off in my head."
