Manchester United clawed themselves back to draw against Burnley in the midtuka, thanks to late goals by Paul Pogba and Victor Lindelof.
Yet so midtukekampen out to cost Ole Gunnar Solskjær and the company more than two points. Paul Pogba leaped off the path and Anthony Martial have to stand over the settlement because of an injury. Both have been bright after the Norwegian took over.
At the press conference Friday morning still came Solskjær with the good news to Manchester United fans. 45-year-old says that both probably will be ready to bortekampen against Leicester on Sunday.
– We have not had a proper workout since the battle, we have the first in the day. Hopefully both through the training today. I don’t think there is any problem with Paul. For Anthony it also works well, he has trained rehabilitation this week. He tries on the training today and I will think he is ready, he seemed happy yesterday, ” said Solskjær at Friday’s press conference.
It was no surprise that Martial seemed happy, he signed namely, under a five-year contract extension with the red devils. Martial had during the 18 months of the contract. Solskjær is well pleased with the fact that Martial has extended.
– It is a confirmation that we love him and that we have great faith in him for he has a fantastic potential. He has had some up and downs so far in his career, he has been the top-scorer and has developed. He moved abroad early and it is difficult. Now he knows that he will be here in the future, and we and I have great faith in him.
Want more easy targets
Solskjær challenge now Martial and his other young spisskollega, Marcus Rashford, that they must start to score more “ugly” goals, to reach their full potential.
I wish he took more races in the backroom, he misses when he gets a chance. He must get more opportunities, he must smell where the opportunities come. He and Marcus scores a lot of worldies, but they must do as I did and get five-six tap-ins and simple goals in the course of a season.
the Frenchman and the englishman are similar spisstyper. Solskjær believes it does not need to lead to rivalry, but rather a good dynamic. The hope of the Norwegian is that the two boys can create a fruitful cooperation which can last for many years to come.
– They can create a good cooperation, hopefully they shall play together in many years. They must learn to know each other, both like to cut in from the left, so it applies to them to find out of each other and have opposite movements and change of positions.
Martial extended by the United thank Solskjær Knows what the club can do for you
Solskjær pulled up Martials large expertise that exits and speed as the basis for the frenchman’s great potential.
I think he can be very good. He is fantastic end, great potential. He is still young, but he is intelligent as a player. He knows that I want him to take more races in the backroom. I have not seen many players who are as good with the ball in the legs in the last third like him.
Norwegian got questions about whether it was difficult for him to convince the Martial to remain in the club, as he is only there on a temporary basis, and thus can’t talk too much about framtidsplaner.
Solskjær claim that there never was any problem for him to sell Manchester United as a club to be in.
I’ve been here for fifteen years, as a player, coach and now caretaker manager. I know how much this club can do for your career. I’m just being honest with the players about that this was the best place for me. It was easy for me to sell the club to Anthony, but he has been here for many years himself, so he knows well what the club is capable of, ” said Solskjær.
I speak from my own experiences about what they can get in this club. As I have said several times, I am here to help players and guide them until the summer. If I sit down and talk with them about, for example, Cristianos career and how he got there, so figured Anthony that this was something he could imagine, the continued Solskjær.
Warns United: – Too early
