"If that's Mourinho": Paul Merson reacts to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selection after FA Cup loss

Paul Merson was astonished at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selection after Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final 3 - 1 loss to Chelsea.

The Red Devils boss dropped Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood from the clash. And Merson was very surprised by the manager's decision. He said in his column for Sky Sports: "It's clear that Man Utd's next two league games are more important than the FA Cup semi-final. More important than winning a trophy. I cannot catch my breath.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has to win something. If he wins the FA Cup it's massive for him. There are only a few trophies he can win in a season. 

I was flabbergasted at his team selection. I couldn't believe it.

 If that's Jose Mourinho, he is playing his strongest team. You win trophies. You are judged on trophies!

If Mourinho was in Man Utd's position yesterday, knowing he has Arsenal in the final, he plays his strongest possible team."
