Solskjaer: 'We have had a good week ahead of Spurs clash'

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that his team have "had a good week", as they bid to bounce back against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

The Red Devils suffered a 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool last weekend, which piled the pressure on Solskjaer, but the Norwegian will lead the team into the clash in North London.

The Man United manager has insisted that his side are ready to react against Spurs, with the players in a positive frame of mind despite the five-goal thrashing by Jurgen Klopp's team.

"We definitely need a reaction and it's my job as well to put the players in the right frame of mind. I'm responsible for the reaction, the result, the performance," Solskjaer told reporters.

"We've worked on the pitch, worked on everything that needs to be sorted for a footballer. It's not just frame of mind, it's the approach strategy, gameplan, tactics, technically, we've had a good week and I feel the boys are ready to give their best as they always do. The performance, nothing went to plan and that was nowhere near our best."

Man United have lost three of their last four games in the Premier League, which has seen them drop down into seventh position in the table, eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
