Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has reacted to his side’s poor display in their 2-0 loss to Watford on Sunday.

The Old Trafford side lost the game courtesy of goals from Ismaila Sarr and Troy Deeney.

“It’s not a complacency thing,” he said, Mirror Football reports. “First half it could have easily been my testimonial. It was subdued, slow, no urgency. Any encouragement their crowd got came from our mistakes.

“We started the game slow. The first half was very, very poor from both sides and when you concede two goals like we did in quick succession with their two shots on target we gave ourselves too much to do.”

The defeat has hampered United’s hopes of a top four finish this term, but with many games still to come, they can still make it with a good run.

Manchester United face Newcastle in their next Premier League game on Boxing Day. United lost the first leg by a Matty Longstaff goal to nothing.

It remains to be seen how United will recover from this loss to Watford in this very busy festive period.
