Solskjaer provides injury update, admits he has copied Ranieri's sessions: Press Conference

Manchester United looking to continue their unbeaten record under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and climb into the top four, while their Saturday’s rival Fulham are targeting the second victory in three matches. Ahead of the clash, the Red Devil boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken out to the press. Why Antonio Valencia has not been playing. Well hopefully he’ll recover because he’s been training hard really hard then he got a setback so hopefully in a couple of weeks he’ll... he’s captain for us hopefully we can get him back on the pitch but it was hard when he broke down, he would’ve travelled now this weekend. More on Jones from Solskjaer It’s a signal for the players that we believe in them. Phil has been here for so long. He’s won the Premier League, he’s won trophies, he knows what it takes for us to move up the table. The United boss says consistency will be key as the club bid to extend their run The last two months have been fantastic, with the points we’ve got. So consistency is a keyword now, we have to keep improving, keep winning games.  But we want to win games in a better way than the Leicester one. I felt we hung on. It was good enough, but we shouldn’t be happy with just good enough. We want to keep improving. Solskjaer on potential title challenge next term I hope so, that they believe they can do that because you cannot outperform your ego, that’s one of them mantles you have to trust and believe yourself but you’ve got to believe in yourself. If you want to be a champion and win it’s how you prepare for every single game, how we demand, that we focus on every single day in training every single game. It’s about Fulham, one game at a time but every single day prepare as best you can and I love to hear players, but that also means a decision. Solskjaer on his coaching team We are different ages, we are different in what we’re good at, we complement each other really well. Kieran and Michael, the energy and hours they spend planning the sessions, working with individuals, Demps has come in later on but he’s fitting into this team. Eamilio has worked with David (De Gea) so many years, we’re a good group, we bounce off each other and opinions are being thrown about and I’m the unlucky one on who to leave out or who to play. I choose them to give the chance to leave players out but we complement each other well, Kieran and Michael remind me of me when I was younger and listening to Mike and Demps for their views because they’ve got a bit more experience. Solskjaer insists he has not set his eyes on PSG Fulham is a character revealer, it reveals do we have the focus on what’s important which is always the next game and can we forget about PSG. The focus around the PSG game for a long time, Chelsea, Liverpool, but they’re not the games that will move us up the table, they’re the other games. Solskjaer admits he has copied Ranieri's sessions I don’t know the ins and outs of the situation at Fulham but what he did at Leicester shows you what capabilities he has as a manager, must be the best achievement ever to win that league. I don’t know the word but the team spirit, effort, they believed in themselves, so he is someone I’ve looked up to admire, you read books, I know we’re gonna come up against a manager and team that counter-attacking football that he’s always had in his teams. I’ve copied a couple of his sessions actually. Fellaini’s gone... is it becoming more like a Solskjaer side? Well, every day I feel that I do help the club put my stamp on it, yes, but decisions sometimes of players’ futures are not down to me. Either it’s the players, do they want to stay, move on but we have a vision and picture of how we want to look in a few years and we have to think long term and also short term. I’ve got a picture of what this Manchester United team should look in a couple of years but I put my views to Ed and the club. Team news Rojo has been training for a few days, so he’s back in training. But we’ve lost Antonio and Matteo through niggles for a couple of weeks. We’re still not bad. We’ve got 20-21 players training every day, so that’s good.
