Manager says it is true reflection of the team that they are only in the Europa League, after failing to finish in the top four, and not the Champions League

Manager says it is true reflection of the team that they end up in Europa League, after failing to finish in the top four for them to play in the Champions League next seasonManchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks on during the Premier League match between Huddersfield Town and Manchester United at John Smith's Stadium in Huddersfield, the UK, May 5 2019.

“We are not in the Champions League but I think that is a true reflection. The table seldom lies at the end,” admitted Solskjaer as he came to terms with a run of two wins from 11 games that have sucked the enthusiasm from his first few months as a caretaker manager. Yet, the hastiness of the club’s executive vice-chair Ed Woodward and American owners the Glazier family to take the easy decision of appointing the former striker then, rather than waiting until the end of the season, may only extend the wait for United to get back on their feet.

Solskjaer insisted on Friday the lure of playing for the 20-time English champions is still enough to attract players, but the lack of Champions League football or a director of football to lead the recruitment will not make that task any easier. Should City beat Leicester on Monday to retake top spot, they will move 29 points ahead of their city rivals with one game of the league campaign still to play.
