Solskjaer warns Man Utd players: Don't lose focus against Liverpool | OneFootball

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says concentration will be key facing Liverpool today.

On the eve of Sunday's big Premier League showdown with bitter rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford, Solskjaer has given his troops a Fergie-style gee-up.

The Red Devils boss declared: “When Sir Alex Ferguson gave his team talks, he always said you have to play with concentration.

“That's for 90-plus minutes in every game, every few days.

“We're competing at such a high level in the Champions League and Premier League that if you switch off, if you nod off, for a split second you will be punished.

“That's the difference between playing at this level and playing at the one below — focus and concentration."

Solskjaer added: “We have conceded goals we could have avoided, definitely.

“Sometimes, like on Wednesday against Atalanta, they had two chances and scored two goals.

“But every team will create decent chances against you and we have to focus.

“If you give them ones through lack of concentration, that's not good enough to be successful."
