Manchester United set to be without defender for Fulham and PSG games

Manchester United are still missing Antonio Valencia

Manchester United look to continue their push for a top four spot this weekend when they visit Fulham.

The home side have struggled this season but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is all too aware of the potential for an upset against a side managed by Claudio Ranieri.

“I don’t know the ins and outs of the situation at Fulham,” said United’s interim boss Solskjaer. “But what he did at Leicester shows you what capabilities he has as a manager, must be the best achievement ever to win that league.

“I don’t know the word but the team spirit, effort, they believed in themselves, so he is someone I’ve looked up to admired, you read books, I know we’re gonna come up against a manager and team that counter-attacking football that he’s always had in his teams, I’ve copied a couple of his sessions actually.”

Solskjaer, who confirmed Antonio Valencia is still missing for United with an injury sustained in training, is looking for an improvement in the performance his side produced at Leicester.

“It was good enough but we shouldn’t just be happy with just good enough,” he confirmed. “We want to improve in games like this, Fulham is a character revealer, it reveals do we have the focus on what’s important which is always the next game and can we forget about PSG. “The focus around the PSG game for a long time, Chelsea Liverpool, but they’re not the games that will move us up the table, they’re the other games.”
