Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he is willing to take responsibility for the team's poor performances instead of pointing to the club's issues in the transfer market.

The Red Devils sit in fifth place in the Premier League table, but they are just four points clear of 14th position and have lost their previous two matches in succession.

Given the nature of the displays in the losses to Liverpool and most notably Burnley, Solskjaer has come in for some stick for his management.

Ahead of the team's meeting with Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup on Sunday, the Norwegian said he won't be looking to shift the blame for the club's recent issues, per Tyrone Marshall of the Manchester Evening News:

"It's a skill to look yourself in mirror sometimes and not just blame others as well.
