“It's been a difficult week, of course,” said Solskjaer, in his pre-match press conference.
“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.
“And when you get to that next game, sort it out and challenge the problems.
“We've had a good week on the training field.”
Solskjaer went into more detail about how the players have reacted to the defeat to Liverpool, including what he and the Man United squad have worked on in training.
"We definitely need a reaction and it's my job as well to put the players in the right frame of mind,” said Solskjaer.
“I'm responsible for the reaction, the result, the performance.
“We've worked on the pitch, worked on everything that needs to be sorted for a footballer.
“It's not just a 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.
“The performance (against Liverpool), nothing went to plan and that was nowhere near our best."
