Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now has ‘five unhappy’ Manchester United stars among his ranks after the club’s 1-1 draw with Everton at Old Trafford, according to reports.
Anthony Martial fired United into the lead before half-time, but Andros Townsend’s crucial second-half equaliser rescued a point for Everton on Saturday.

Solskjaer claimed that United “lacked that important cutting edge” to score a second against Everton and seal all three points at Old Trafford.
“We did have enough players behind the ball, we made a couple of bad decisions which cost us in those 10 seconds or whatever it fell,” he said.

“We were organised well enough behind the ball, but we should have dealt with the danger better.
“Today we dominated the game, we just couldn't get that second goal that you need in games like this. Everton, as we knew from last season, can score a goal from nowhere.
“It was about the counter-attack that they threw at us. We were well enough organised, we should have dealt with the situation a lot better.
“You can focus on dropping deeper and allowing them to have the ball, today we had 75 per cent possession or whatever it was, and we got hit on one break there that cost us.

“And we lacked that important cutting edge to get the second goal.”
United will resume their Premier League campaign on 16th October against Leicester City at the King Power.
