Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fires warning to Manchester City with derby vow

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted his side lost their heads for 15 minutes during their chastening Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City at Old Trafford. The Norwegian has warned Pep Guardiola that it won’t happen again this weekend. United host City in the 182nd derby, having twice won at Etihad this term. “We were played off the park for 15 minutes,” admitted Solskjaer. “Our heads went for a spell, thinking that we had to recover the game in 10 minutes when you don’t have to. We have learnt from that one, definitely. "I don't know how [City] will feel. They'll feel confident. They've hit form, they're playing well. They've just been at the Bernabeu winning there, they've won the cup final, so I'm sure they'll come confident. They'll play their own game, we'll play our game and hopefully, it'll be a good one. Let's hope it's a 4-3 like we've seen before. There have been many classics so we'll do what we can to make it a classic. “When you are at home and have to open up against a team like Man City, they will exploit that if you are not 100 per cent. And sometimes being at home you want to show your fans what you can do and you open too many spaces. And that’s what we did in those 15 or 20 or however many minutes after they scored a world. Before then, it wasn't a problem, before Bernardo scored in the top corner. It wasn't an issue until our heads went for a little while. So we have got to control our emotions more. And we have learnt, so that is an experience we will bring into this game." Solskjaer's latest meeting with Guardiola will be their third already in 2020, and their fourth of the season.
