Solskjaer: Europa League won't take precedence yet

Speaking in his press conference ahead of the match in the Serbian capital, the manager highlighted that we’re still in the early stages of the European competition.

“I think the Europa League is important for us and it’s a tournament that we won when we were last in it,” Ole told reporters. “But, in a cup tournament, you can’t rely on winning it.

“There might be [bad] luck, there might be injuries. The Champions League next season is an aim for us: whether [we qualify] through the top four or the Europa League, it doesn’t matter for us.
