Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: 'We will be ready for Villarreal clash'

Solskjaer: 'We will be ready for Villarreal clash'

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted that his team will not dwell on Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Kortney Hause scored a late header for Villa before Bruno Fernandes missed a stoppage-time penalty, as the Red Devils lost for the first time in the league this season.

The Red Devils are next in action at home to Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday, and there is pressure on the English giants to pick up a result, having lost their section opener to Young Boys.

Solskjaer has said that his players will be ready to "fight for each other" on Wednesday, as the team look to overcome a disappointing run which has seen them lose three of their last four games in all competitions.

"Big game. Champions League. We need to pick up points which is a position these boys have been in before. I know they will fight for each other and fight for the shirt and we will be ready for that one," Solskjaer told BBC Sport.

Man United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Rafael Benitez's Everton side to Old Trafford next Saturday.
