The Norwegian insists that his side are facing exhaustion with the back to back fixtures.
Spirits of the Manchester United faithful high as ever with Wolves visiting them at home in the Premier League. With new signing Bruno Fernandes in the starting XI, fans' expectations knew no boundaries. However, the in-form visitors were determined to deliver an upset and eventually held Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Co to a goalless draw. A win could have seen the Red Devils close down the gap to three points below fourth-placed Chelsea. But as it stands they find themselves battling for the fifth spot along with Sheffield United, Wolves, Everton and Spurs. The bad results just keep on coming for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he feels the heat already. [KH_ADWORDS type="4" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS] Since long, the Norwegian has been suggesting that his side are in dire need of a break. With that result, he again went on to stress on the same point. "We played so many games over the last two months - the players are down to the bare bones really, their energy levels are down and they need a break." With just a single win in their last five games, the mood in United's dressing room cannot simply be good. Asked whether his players are falling short of confidence, the manager said, "I don't think it's confidence. " "We've just come off a 6-0 win in the cup, we've beaten Man City three days ago, it was energy. Wolves had 10 days to rest to prepare for this. We had two games, on a muddy pitch at Prenton Park and the emotional energy at City." Moreover, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer mentioned how his was the better side against Wolves, despite all odds. "We dominated the game again, against them, 65 per cent possession, and we don't create too many big chances unfortunately, lacking a little bit of that spark, which is natural, we're on the end of a relentless run, 18 games in two months." "I didn't expect much more than what we did today, I have to be honest, the boys have given absolutely everything, when a team plays so deep like today it became hard," he told Sky Sports.

Juan Mata, Mason Greenwood and Diogo Dalot were all inches close to scoring, but couldn't find the end product somehow. "Someone must have moved the goal, though, the ground staff, I've told them, half a yard to the right where Juan, Mason and Diogo had their shots, that must have happened last night," joked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.Latest News
