Taking to Instagram after the game, Ronaldo said: ‘Sometimes the result is not the one we fight for. Sometimes the score is not the one we want.

‘I do believe in myself,’ Solskjaer told reporters. ‘I do believe that I’m getting close to what I want with the club. I think what we’ve done, what I’ve seen, the development.
‘Of course, the results lately haven’t been good enough, I have to say, and that’s… hands up. And that brings doubt in anyone’s mind, probably. But I’ve got to keep strong and I do believe in what we’ve been doing.’
Solskjaer, who was named United’s permanent manager in March 2019, has yet to win a trophy with the club.
‘Today’s rock bottom, low in confidence,’ Solskjaer added. ‘But, you know, the next week it’s Tottenham away. It’s a Champions League game, Atalanta, the next team who visits us is Manchester City.
‘We have to look forward. We have to sort the frame of minds out and make sure we go into the next training session in the next game with the right frame of mind.’
