Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits his side still have a "steep mountain to climb" despite Marcus Rashford's goal giving them a lifeline in the Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
The England striker's 70th-minute goal gave United a lifeline for the second leg having been out-played and out-thought by Pep Guardiola and his side in a first half which brought goals for Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez and an own goal from Andreas Pereira.
United won in the league at the Etihad a month ago but on the basis of their performance at Old Trafford – 45 minutes which Solskjaer described as the worst of his reign – they will have to considerably improve if they are to stand a chance of making it to Wembley on March 1.
"It was a good result for us but I take note about what happened in the second half for the second leg in three weeks.
"This is not three points. It is not done. Last season they lost 0-2 against PSG (Paris St Germain in the Champions League) and then they went to France and qualified.
"Everything can happen in football and I know after what happened in the second half they are a dangerous team. I've spoken to the players and told them it's not over."
