'It was like a testimonial' - Solskjaer not pleased with Man Utd's display at Watford

The Red Devils boss was critical of his side's display as they suffered defeat at the hands of a team who were yet to win at home this season

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bemoaned the sluggish nature of his side’s first-half performance against Watford, suggesting that his side approached the game as if it were an exhibition match.

The Norwegian was disappointed with the display after watching his team fall to a 2-0 defeat at Vicarage Road, describing the opening 45 minutes as “like a testimonial.”

It was United’s first loss in seven games and meant they remained in 8th position in the Premier League table with the top four still out of reach.
