Solskjaer on transfers: 'It has hammered home we need to improve. That is not good enough'

"They prepped with four friendlies while we have had one friendly," Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told Sky Sports after a defeat to Crystal Palace. "It showed we are way short and they deserved the points."

Asked whether the Red Devils need more transfers, the boss added: "It has hammered home that we need to improve. That is not good enough against any team in the Premier League."

United have lost 3-1 to Palace at Old Trafford in their first game of the Premier League campaign. Solskjaer' crew were poor both defensively and offensively.

Donny van de Beek's effort after a lucky deflection was the only way the Reds managed to respond to a goal from Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha's brace.
