Carragher blasts Ole for criticising Man Utd fans in ‘strange interview’ – Football365


Jamie Carragher was baffled by a “strange interview” from Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after their 3-2 comeback victory over Atalanta on Wednesday night.

The Red Devils found themselves 2-0 down at the break but rallied to make it 2-2 thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire, before Cristiano Ronaldo popped up late on to secure all three points.

Solskjaer had come under increasing pressure in recent weeks after a number of poor performances and results.


Atalanta comeback shows why Man Utd must get rid of Solskjaer…


After the win against the Serie A side, Solskjaer told CBS: “This crowd should never stop believing in these players. You do hear a little bit of grumbling. I’ve been here at this club for 18 years, more or less, and that hasn’t happened often. They know they’re better than that.”

Despite a few jeers at the interval, the majority of Old Trafford was right behind the team for 90 minutes and Carragher thought it was “really silly” for Solskjaer to criticise the supporters.

Speaking on CBS, Carragher said: “I thought it was a strange interview that. The comment he made about the fans was a silly thing to say.

“The fans I think won them that game in the second-half. Man United, coming in at half-time 2-0 down to Atalanta and I don’t think they were that poor but you’re going to get grumblings, people who are unhappy.

“It’s not just that game, it’s a poor run of games and the performance they had at Leicester. When that ground is rocking, it is difficult to stop.

“I have been there as a player and it’s difficult to stop, teams get deeper and deeper.

“The supporters are as important as Cristiano Ronaldo, or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, or the changes he made in the second half.

“It was a really silly thing to say that the supporters should know better when they played such a huge part in winning them the game.”

Carragher added: “If Man United beat Liverpool on Sunday, it will again be as much because of the supporters than any player on the pitch because as you know, United haven’t got the players or the team as good as Liverpool, so they’re going to need that support.”
