Ole Gunnar Solskjaer accepts blame for Manchester United defeat to Leicester City

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has accepted the blame for Manchester United's disappointing 4-2 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday afternoon, admitting that he got his team selection wrong, while confessing that 'something has got to give.'

The Red Devils recovered from a setback to pull level with eight minutes to play, but Jamie Vardy and Patson Daka struck soon after to sink the visitors to a disappointing loss, piling the pressure on their Norwegian coach.

And speaking to the BBC after the match, Solskjaer admitted that Man Utd 'deserved' to lose against the Foxes, who ended the Premier League giants' record-breaking 29 match unbeaten run away from home.

The coach also took the blame for the visitors' shambolic defensive display, suggesting that he shouldn't have rushed captain Harry Maguire back into the starting lineup, as he recovered from his own injury issues.

"When you look at the game after, the four goals we conceded were poor," Solskjaer said. "The way we played we don't deserve to continue that (away unbeaten) run.
