Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bemoaned Manchester United’s inability to do things the easy way after beating bottom-placed Sheffield United to secure a sixth straight Premier League comeback win on the road.
The Red Devils continued their 100 per cent away league away record at the beleaguered Blades, where they found themselves in the all too familiar position of needing to bounce back.
David McGoldrick opened the scoring inside five minutes after Dean Henderson – the former Blades loanee brought in for David De Gea – was caught in possession, but Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial turned things around.
“We are disappointed with the goals that we conceded. A couple of big moments.
“Sander Berge going off has hit us really because it was an important area of the pitch for us tonight with the three of those boys in.
“We had to win first ball, win second balls, we had to try and get amongst their midfield players, so for him go off was disappointing.
“Obviously we had an opportunity – it’s not a brilliant opportunity but one that maybe we have to do better with with John Fleck.
“But the couple of goals that sort of turned the game on its head were really preventable from our point of view.”
