After The Roma Vs Man United Match, There Was Criticism From Solskjaer
JAKARTA - Manchester United managed to get rid of Roma in the semifinals on Friday morning WIB, winning 8-5 on aggregate despite losing 2-3 in the second leg.
Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer then expressed his feelings after successfully leading the Red Devils to the first final under his tutelage.
"It feels good to be in the final. We played a very, very good round at Old Trafford which brought us through", the Norwegian coach told BT Sport after the match, reported by Antara.
However, Solskjaer cannot hide his disappointment with the busy schedule that his team has. United will be forced to play five consecutive domestic matches before facing Villarreal in the Europa League final on May 27.
Solskjaer said their fixtures were "created by people who have never played football at this level" and could put players at risk in the final months of the 2020-21 season.
"This is unprecedented. It was made by people who have never played football at this level," said Solskjaer.
"It is physically impossible for the players. We have not handled it well. We will need everyone (the rest of the way). It's a brief change, but we have to be ready".
The Red Devils will visit Aston Villa on May 9, host Leicester (May 12), Liverpool (May 14), Fulham (May 19), as the visitors against Wolves on May 23.
Manchester United then face Villarreal in the Europa League final on May 27 at Miejski Stadium, Poland.
