MANCHESTER, England: Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased with his team's clinical finishing in a 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley but unhappy with sloppy defending which could have cost them against the battling visitors on Sunday.
"Disappointed we conceded straight away," Solskjaer told the BBC."We knew there'd be long balls, win the first one, win the second one and stop the ball into the box. The delivery was great and we had to work hard again. Fortunately for Solskjaer, Greenwood restored United's lead in the 84th minute with a heavily deflected shot before Cavani sealed United's win with a close-range tap in after a flowing move which started on the edge of their penalty area.The result left second-placed United eight points behind leaders Manchester City with six games remaining and Solskjaer was realistic in assessing that his side had only a slim chance of overhauling their arch rivals in the home straight.
