Manchester United ‘should have had enough’ to beat Arsenal but they ‘blew their chances’ to win at the Emirates, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes.

Bruno Fernandes had a rare off day and Marcus Rashford also stumbled in front of goal as the Red Devils battled out a drab goalless stalemate with the Gunners.

And Solskjaer has told talkSPORT that he believes his side would have come away with all three points on a different day if it wasn’t for their wastefulness in front of goal.

“We look at those chances and normally we put those away,” he said.

“But he’s [Rashford] there to be on the end of them and that’s important, but it was definitely a good reaction from Wednesday night.

Asked if Scott McTominay’s injury disrupted United’s rhythm, Solskjaer said: ”You could say that. Paul [Pogba] came into midfield as he didn’t really get into the game when h e out on the left.

“We got enough players that are used to each other anyway.

“There was a period of ten or 15 minutes when they had too many shots for my liking, a free kick that hit the crossbar.

“The other bits I thought David [De Gea] was in control.

“It was a little bit too passive definitely but the two chances we created should have been enough.”
