Solskjaer confident after Man Utd draw Man City in Carabao Cup

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said his Manchester United players are looking forward to "a nice little draw" after they were pitted against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals following their 3-0 win over Colchester United.

Goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial either side of a Ryan Jackson own goal ensured the Red Devils made light work of their League Two opponents at Old Trafford, but Solskjaer felt his players let their standards slip across the course of the game.

Colchester held Crystal Palace and Tottenham to draws before beating both sides on penalties in earlier rounds of the competitions and Solskjaer was more impressed by his side's performance in a goalless first half against the U's than he was after the interval.
