The temporary manager of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, acknowledges that he has driven his players hard, since he took over the trænerposten in december last year from Jose Mourinho.
It is one of the reasons for the skadesproblemer, as the team now stands with, say, the manager, according to the AFP news agency.
– There is probably a connection, says the Norwegian.
On the skadeslisten stands among other Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard, who were all injured in Sunday’s 0-0 match against league leaders Liverpool.
And in the worst case can United be without ten players in Wednesday’s match away to Crystal Palace.
But there is a reason for that Solskjær has been driving his crew hard.
the Team had one of the worst løbestatistikker under Mourinho, and it has improved significantly since Solskjær has taken over the trænerposten.
– When are you doing the change? Are you waiting until the pre-season and reckon that you can make results without having to ask them to run?
– Or, you start with the same and shows them what it takes in the intensity, and how you want them to play?
– you have seen what I have chosen. We need to play like a Manchester United team. If you want to be a part of United, so is it the strongest that survive, says Solskjær.
The increased training after the injuries seem to have borne fruit for the United crew.
Since Solskjær came to, the team has won 11 out of 14 matches and have only had a single defeat.
United is located on the fifth place in the Premier League with 14 points up to Liverpool in front.
