Solskjaer Hails United Counter-Attacking Style

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed their counter-attacking prowess against Arsenal.

The Red Devils beat Arsenal 3-1 to advance past the fourth round of the FA Cup, putting on a brilliant display on the counter-attack.

Solskjaer also said history played a key role, as they have always bested Arsenal on the counter attack.

“If you go through the history and the games we’ve played against Arsenal that’s how it is,” he told MUTV.

“I remember a goal I scored in 1997 after we defended a corner – it went from Giggsy [Ryan Giggs] to Karel [Poborsky] to Andy [Cole] and into me.

“Everyone knows about the classic Champions League goal [in 2009] with Ji [Park Ji-sung], Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Wayne [Rooney] running forward.

“Wazza has scored a couple more like that, as has Ji, so the counter-attacking threat that we have is in our history against Arsenal.”
