Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his young squad is “improving and evolving” in response to their indifferent start to the season.

United have won once in their past five Premier League matches and needed penalties to beat League One Rochdale in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

“I never said it was going to be easy this season,” said the United manager.

“There are going to be ups and downs. When we lose a game, we have to trust ourselves and what we’re doing.”

Solskjaer’s side, who were beaten 2-0 by West Ham last weekend, host Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday night.

“The culture is there, there are no issues with attitude, work-rate or desire,” he added.

“You can see against Astana and Rochdale they want to impress and do well, and maybe they rush their finishing at times.”

“Any game in the Premier League is winnable but also losable. It’s fine margins,” Solskjaer, 46, said.

“Sometimes you stand there smiling happy to have won a game, sometimes you are angry because you’ve lost. You’ve got to portray the right image.

“You can see how much we’ve improved defensively, that’s where we put the big money in with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire. We don’t concede many chances or concede too many goals.

“Going forward is where we’ve struggled with injuries. Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford – we’ve had some bad luck in that respect. It doesn’t help when you lose players – these boys need to get the pattern of play.”

“I’ve been amazed again by our supporters, to listen to the crowd at Old Trafford, they're amazing,” he said.

“Keep supporting us, we are going through a leaner patch trophy wise and in results the last few games.

“I don’t worry about what the press write because we are focused on what we have to do – and that is to keep improving.” (BBC)
