Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Insists Race for Top Four Will Go 'Down to the Wire' as Man Utd Lose at Arsenal

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday afternoon is his lowest moment since taking over as manager of Manchester United, but insisted the race for the top four will go 'down to the wire', as the Red Devils continue to fight for a place in next season's Champions League.

A 30-yard strike from Granit Xhaka and a penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did the damage, condemning United to the first Premier League defeat since Solskjaer took over the reins in December.

The Norwegian was left frustrated by United's sub-par performance and insisted that the defeat was a huge missed opportunity for the Red Devils in the race for a top four finish.
