Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Manchester United fans played role in defeats after anti-Glazer protests

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits the anti-Glazer protests at Manchester United have been a factor in his team suffering back-to-back home defeats.

United were handed a punishing schedule of four games in eight days after the fixture against Liverpool was postponed due to violent demonstrations against the club’s American owners.

Further attempts to disrupt the re-arranged Liverpool fixture meant United’s players were forced to arrive at Old Trafford seven hours before kick-off which impacted their preparation as they lost to Jurgen Klopp’s side two days after a defeat to Leicester.
