Solskjaer convinced Man Utd will not repeat Everton horror show

Explore Business Standard

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that Manchester United will not repeat last season's embarrassing "capitulation" against Everton as they seek to strengthen their push for a Champions League place.
United make the short trip to Goodison Park on Sunday in an upbeat mood after seven games unbeaten -- and six clean sheets -- in all competitions.
On Thursday they progressed to the last-16 of the Europa League after a 5-0 win at home against Club Brugge gave them a 6-1 win on aggregate.
Solskjaer endured what remains his most chastening day in the hotseat last April at Everton, apologising to fans after a 4-0 rout as their season unravelled.
"That was the lowest I've been," Solskjaer said, referring to the Everton defeat.
"I think you all know that and remember that. That was a capitulation.
"We had absolutely nothing about us, even though their goals were more or less counter-attacks from set plays and long throw-ins."
"These are the boys we want to build the next team around."
"We have missed that box opener that Bruno (Fernandes) is proving to be now."
