Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned tonight’s 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain won’t be season defining, and his Manchester United players will learn from it.
The Norwegian was clearly unimpressed with suffering his first defeat as United manager but he refused to accept the tie is offer, despite considering two away goals which gives the French giants a massive advantage towards qualifying for the quarter-finals.
Solskjaer had gone 11 games without a defeat prior to tonight, so it’s essential to offer some perspective after losing his first game.

It doesn’t change the fact he’s done an incredible job to date and thoroughly deserves to be in the running for the full-time job.
The recovery under Solskjaer has put United in serious contention for a top four finish, something many of us had already ruled out prior to his arrival.

“We’ve not played games at this level for a while. We have to learn from this experience, it’s not going to be a season defining one.”
“Mountain’s are there to be climbed…”
