Solskjaer: Man Utd are at rock bottom

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has acknowledged that Manchester United are at "rock bottom" following their 5-0 defeat to Liverpool - but the Norwegian says that he and his team have "come too far as a group" to throw in the towel.

Mohamed Salah's history-making hat-trick, along with goals for Naby Keita and Diogo Jota and a red card for Paul Pogba, delivered a match to forget for the Red Devils against their rivals at Old Trafford.

But while United's prospects of an unlikely title charge are in serious trouble, Solskjaer still believes that he is the right man for the job - though he is under no illusions that his side are in a particularly bad spot.

"It is not easy to say something apart from it is the darkest day I have had leading these players," the manager told Sky Sports after the final whistle. "We were not good enough individually and as a team, [we] can't give a team like Liverpool those chances but unfortunately we did.

"[The responsibility] is mine, that is it. The coaching staff are very, very good, brilliant. I choose the way we approach the game, we were not clinical enough and gave too much spaces and when you give good players space they score.
