Published on October 29, 2019, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has expressed relief at securing their first Premier League away win in eight months over struggling Norwich.
However, his relief has been tempered by the 'hurt' he has felt over the team's poor results this season, he told the BBC.
Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Norwich on Sunday saw them rise from a lowly 15th in the standings to seventh, albeit 15 points off Liverpool and nine adrift of city rivals and champions Manchester City, who are second.
Despite the recent upturn in results, Solskjaer acknowledged that he had not read the increasingly critical press about him, saying, 'The ones that need to trust me and the ones that matter, they don't mind.'
He also praised Frenchman Anthony Martial, who scored and missed a penalty, saying he was pivotal to the style he wanted the team to play.
'This had been a good week for us,' said Solskjaer. 'It started with a decent performance against Liverpool and now two wins away from home. It gives the players confidence and momentum.'
