Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has expressed surprise at his captain Harry Maguire\u2019s claim that the Red Devils\u2019 lacked belief\u2019 during their Premier League derby 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Man City completely outclassed Man United at Old Trafford as Eric Bailly\u2019s own goal and Bernardo Silva\u2019s strike gave Pep Guardiola\u2019s side all three points against the host.<\/p>\n

Speaking during one of his post-match press conferences, Solskjaer was asked if it is a \u2018worry\u2019 that some of his players admitted they \u2018lacked belief\u2019 during Man United\u2019s defeat to Man City.<\/p>\n

But the Norwegian responded as quoted by Metro UK answered; \u201cHave they said they lacked belief?\u2019<\/p>\n

The interviewer then replied: \u201c[Harry] Maguire just said that in the second half, the team or certain players lacked the belief that they could do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know psychology is important to you, so how much of a worry is that and how can you address that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Appearing to accept the judgment, Solskjaer then said: \u201cIt is a big thing, we are human beings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my job now to work on going into the next game with the right mentality, a winner\u2019s mentality, and a more positive mentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, when you play, you might lose belief during the game when you can\u2019t get to the ball. These transitions that we are so good at, we just couldn\u2019t get enough of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Man United will now take on Watford after the international break in their next Premier League tie.<\/p>\n
