Solskjaer feels fans' love as Man Utd complete derby double over Man City

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the bond between Manchester United players and fans is returning after completing a first Premier League derby double over Manchester City for 10 years at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay took advantage of errors from City goalkeeper Ederson to keep United hot on the heels of Chelsea for a top-four finish, just three points behind the Blues.

United have lived in City's shadow in recent years, but have beaten their city rivals three times this season and are now unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions.

"The desire, attitude, commitment, the connection between fans and players," said Solskjaer on what had pleased him most. "What a day they've had today.

"It's a derby. The fans love it, the players love it. You can say it's only three points, but to beat a team like Manchester City with the problems we've had is fantastic."
"The reality is that the pressure is not on the Premier League. We know our position is not changing a lot because we won't get to the title. I think we will be second to qualify for the Champions League, but it's a derby. It's important for our fans and it's not acceptable to lose 2-0."
