Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed the role Edinson Cavani played in helping to brush off their Liverpool defeat last week, and admitted “it was time” after selecting his oldest ever eleven to face Tottenham.
Manchester United responded in style on Sunday when putting Tottenham to the sword in north London. United emerged with a critical 3-0 victory to ease the pressure on Solskjaer.
The Norwegian made several tactical and selection tweaks for the contest, notably switching to a back three. He also recalled veteran forward Cavani to the eleven to partner Cristiano Ronaldo up front.
The pair proved a handful for Tottenham’s back-line and both netted in the victory. And speaking after the match, Solskjaer made a claim Man Utd fans will love.
