Solskjaer disappointed: “We were too far off the ball”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United manager, did not hide his disappointment after the 1-1 first leg of the Europa League against Milan. Speaking to BT Sport, the Old Trafford team coach said: “That draw makes it more difficult, but the tie was going to be decided in the second leg anyway. We were too slow with the possession, sometimes it is difficult when you come from playing the derby against Manchester City ”.

United drew against Milan after beating Premier League leaders Pep Guardiola's City 2-2. Simon Kjaer tied Stefano Pioli's team in the 92nd minute. “Dean (Henderson) can save him (AC Milan's goal) of course, but we should have attacked the ball. Today we were very far from him ”, were the words of Solskjaer.

Amad Diallo had overtaken United in the 50 '. “Amad Diallo is creative, he plays freely. He scored a good goal. He still has a lot to learn and it will be better, ”Solskjaer said.
