Manchester United vs Southampton: What has been said?

Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “We want to keep on trying to dominate games. We feel we’ve dominated them.

“But of course we need a little bit of brightness, spark up the last third, take the chances.

“I don’t really like to bring these up but the momentum shifted for us with the Sheff United game. Of course it did.

“But I’ve got the delegate’s report through from the ref and the two decisions were wrong.

“They’ve admitted that their goal should have been disallowed and ours should have stood and that is a big, big momentum changer for us.”

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl: “The good thing is you should score from time to time and this is what we do, although at the moment, not enough. It is not so much to worry about if you have the chances and you don’t do it.

“Man City won 1-0, Palace won 1-0, Manchester United and Arsenal drew 0-0, so we are not the only team at the moment that has problems scoring.

“But I see us creating a lot of chances and it is only a question of time before we score again so it doesn’t worry me at the moment.”
