Ole Gunnar Solskjaer demands a fast start from Manchester United to the Premier League season

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged Manchester United to start the Premier League season strongly as they look to avid a repeat of last year.

United lost three of their first six games last campaign, which included an opening day defeat to Crystal Palace, and Solskjaer is aware that his team can ill afford to have another slow start this time around.

After starting pre-season with a 2-1 victory against Derby County, Solskjaer indicated that he will be focusing on naming strong lineups in the remaining friendlies ahead of the first league game at home to Leeds on August 14.
