Published on December 11, 2019, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has called for his team to find consistency in their performances.
With the team already qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League and sitting fifth in the Premier League, Solskjaer believes that consistency is key to winning trophies.
"Consistency is vital in football. If we want to win trophies this young team needs to learn how to put performances in when they don't feel great," Solskjaer said.
He added that the team has had some games this year where they have not been able to perform as well as they would like, but that is a learning curve for the young players.
"The young boys will improve that as well in the next few years and hopefully the rest of the year. We are looking brighter now," Solskjaer said.
Manchester United are one point ahead of AZ Alkmaar and need a draw from their final group match to ensure top spot.
"Results are the proof in the end. Inside we have always believed in what we are doing," Solskjaer said.
He also condemned the alleged racist abuse aimed at United midfielders Fred and Jesse Lingard in their 2-1 derby win over Manchester City on Saturday.
A 41-year-old man was arrested on Sunday in connection with the allegations, before being bailed pending further investigation.
"This isn't how it should be in football but what we can do is go out onto the pitch next time and prove we are all equal," Solskjaer said.
