'We should have done better' - Solskjaer bemoans Man Utd inconsistency after Villa draw

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer thinks his Manchester United’s team didn't play "as a team" during the first half in Sunday’s home draw with Aston Villa, but that inconsistency is to be expected from such a young team.

United are off to their slowest start in over 30 years, and a draw with the newly-promoted Villa will increase pressure on the Norwegian with his team ending the weekend in ninth place.

Solskjaer’s men fell behind to a marvellous Jack Grealish strike, before clawing their way to a 2-1 lead following Victor Lindelof’s header. They allowed Tyrone Mings to equalize for the Villains almost immediately after the Swede’s strike, and the manager thought they’d failed to control the game as they should have.
