Solskjaer accused Man Utd stars of going back to Mourinho days in Wolves FA Cup defeat

STROPPY Ole Gunnar Solskjaer accused his players of going back to the Mourinho days.

Manchester United’s interim boss gave his troops the full hairdryer treatment after their FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Wolves.

Solskjaer laid into their slow, laboured style of football — which former boss Jose Mourinho was heavily criticised for before being axed in December.

And the Norwegian told his shell-shocked team to use the international break to analyse their own individual performances.

"BIG STEP BACKWARDS"

Solskjaer saw the FA Cup as a huge opportunity to lift silverware this season. He had publicly slated their display as “the poorest since I’ve come here” and a “big step backwards”.

While United lost 2-0 to Arsenal in their previous game, he felt they were unlucky at  the Emirates.

But the lacklustre  showing in losing 2-1  at Molineux on Saturday night led Solskjaer to demand a reaction.

The players had never seen him so angry  — and he appears to have learnt  the  hairdryer trick from legendary former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Solskjaer was expecting a big reaction at Wolves after the Gunners’ defeat hit their hopes of a top-four league finish.
