Ole Gunnar Solskjaer issues Manchester United newcomers verdict

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that Manchester United newcomer Bruno Fernandes has brought a “spark” to the squad, as he even looks good when he gives the ball away. The Red Devils completed a move for Fernandes this January for €55 million from Sporting. Speaking to Sky Sports, Solskjaer admitted: "That little bit of spark he (Fernandes) has given us. He’s come in and the supporters, the feeling around the place, is better. “He risks passes, he plays forward passes, he takes chances, he loses the ball a few times but he’s one of the players that looks good when he loses the ball because it’s a good attempt. He then wins it back. Delighted with him.” Red Devils' boss also praised the other new signing of the Manchester club- Odion Ighalo, as he then added: “We have had a few disappointing games, definitely, and inconsistent periods. “We have had some great highs, great games – [Manchester] City, Chelsea, Liverpool game at home. Loads of games we have played really exciting football and then let ourselves down at times in games that we have dominated. “Odion as well has given us something extra because we’ve missed that type of striker in and around the box and having tap-ins. “We have had to score the perfect goal and we don’t need that now because we’ve got players who can strike the ball well from outside, we’ve got a striker in the box, so I feel we’re getting closer to that consistency. “We have had a great improvement in our defending, the consistency, clean sheets, a foundation to play from but we can’t get carried away. “We are close to the top four but we aren’t there and we need to carry on – Everton, [Manchester] City, Tottenham, Sheffield United, they are our next four league games.” United are set to face Everton this Sunday at the Goodison Park.
