Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solkjaer has given his thoughts after his side played out a 0-0 draw against Arsenal in a Premier League encounter played at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, January 30th.

Speaking to the Manchester United website Solkjaer stated that he was impressed with how his players performed.

He said, “I was impressed with the performance. I thought we approached the game in the right manner, came here [and] dominated the first half, had the majority of the possession, some big chances – in the second half, especially. Marcus had one in the first half as well, and we just lacked that little bit of clinical finishing.

“We’ll get them going again definitely. I felt in control; of course they have a free-kick that hits the crossbar but apart from that you feel in control. They had another shot that David saved that’s never going to bother him anyway, but we created chances and crosses as we said [we would] before the game. I thought they followed the plan and [there was] good quality by Aaron down the side, Luke down the side – unfortunately we just couldn’t score the goal.”

🗣 "It shows how far we've come."
