Solskjaer implies being "nice" cost points for Manchester United

boss believes referee Peter Bankes might have changed his mind if the players had insisted on him.

“I think whenever a team feels unfairly treated there will be a reaction but human error is.. I have no problem with human error. Absolutely no problem. And I understand why the decisions were made. Unfortunately, they went against us and they were wrong. That’s football for you but that’s maybe what VAR should have been in for. Maybe we should have made more of a fuss about it,”

announced.

“We are a bunch of nice lads. Maybe we should have really hung on to that or made them look at it before the game started again, so those are things that we have to learn from and use as motivation or energy. You are not going to expect to get anything for free.”

The United get ready to play and host Southampton in the league.

“There has been a narrative for too long about the decisions we have got for us and I can look at many decisions this season that we feel haven’t,” Solskjaer added. “Even the first league game, Victor… they agreed on that one. That wasn’t a penalty. But that doesn’t change where we are now. We just move on.”

After a loss to Sheffield United and a tie against Arsenal,

is looking for his side to move on against Southampton on Tuesday night. 

“Every team is in the same situation and position. Whoever recovers the best and performs the best will win, whoever's coping with the situation the best. We want to put a run together. Since 1 November, we've lost against Sheffield United and that's the only defeat we've had in the league,”

he continued.

“We need to get back to performing at that level and standard. Sometimes you've got to be lucky and sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. More times than not, it's best to just focus on yourself and keep on being consistent in your behaviors. If you prepare the same way and approach a game the right way, you'll get results.”
