What Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said at half-time to boost Manchester United comeback vs Roma, Bruno Fernandes reveals

Bruno Fernandes has revealed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer urged his Manchester United players to remain calm at half-time ahead of their Europa League semi-final 6-2 fightback against Roma. The Serie A side were winning the game before half-time, however, in the second-half everything dramatically changed. Both Fernandes and Edinson Cavani netted a brace with Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood also marking their names on the Red Devils’ scoresheet. And the Portuguese midfielder credited the turnaround to his side keeping their cool and being aware that they had three halves remaining to turn the semi-final on its head. "The manager and the players, we also talk, as we said about keeping calm and doing the right things, play easy football, quick football, one and two touches and keep the head fresh and calm," Fernandes told the club’s official website. "Don’t go mad, don’t try to win the game in the first five or 10 minutes of the second half because we know we had a long way to arrive at the final. "Like I said, before at half-time we knew we had three halves to play so the second of the four halves we ended very well. And we have to do the same in the two halves we have left to play. "The performance of the team was top. The result is really good for us, could be better if we don’t concede goals but, anyway, we did a great job in the second half. "As the coach said at half-time, we have four halves to play – we played the first one and we lost, the second one we win and at half-time in both games [the tie] we are through, but we have two halves to play again and the mindset has to be to win that game again."
