Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed the ‘fantastic’ response of his Manchester United players to their 6-1 thrashing by Tottenham – having admitted they ‘weren’t in shape’ at the start of the season.
United started the campaign poorly, losing their Premier League opener to Crystal Palace before being humiliated at Old Trafford by Jose Mourinho’s side.
But they have responded in fine fashion, going four games unbeaten since including wins over Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig to take command of their Champions League group.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s home game with Arsenal, Solskjaer said: ‘I think any result as brutal as a 6-1 would have to get a response and, of course, it has been dealt with internally.
‘We’ve tweaked a couple of things, got players fit and I think the manner of defeat wasn’t something we should ever have to be confronted with again.
‘Then again, these things happen in football these days and the response has been fantastic. We wanted to finish that off as soon as we could and move forward.’
