Solskjaer calls for consistency

Solskjaer calls for consistency

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood need to kick on after his side came back from behind to beat Sheffield United 3-2 on Thursday.

The Red Devils moved up to sixth in the Premier League table after showing plenty of fight at Bramall Lane.

David McGoldrick opened the scoring for the Blades before Rashford and Martial fired Solskjaer's men in front.

Rashford's 51st-minute strike put his side 3-1 up before McGoldrick scored his second with three minutes to go.

Solskjaer's side have now won their last ten away games in the Premier League, but the former forward has urged his strikers to find some consistency in the coming weeks.

He told reporters: "I don't think it's just a key to get them on the pitch – it's a key to get them on the pitch playing well and performing.

"They've all played, and I said before the game today that we need them to kick on, start scoring goals.

"We've done ok without them really firing, and tonight they showed their capabilities. Now we need that consistency. We need it again and again, so very happy with all three of them."

The Red Devils are just five points behind league-leaders Liverpool, and they have a game in hand over the five teams above them.

Solskjaer's attention will now turn to Sunday's showdown with old rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford.

His side are 4/6 to win, with the draw 10/3, while Marcelo Bielsa's troops are priced at 7/2 to grab all three points.
