Solskjaer: 'We should have had a penalty and that's clear'

"We wanted to win. Apart from the last quality or pass being not good enough... we had great pressing, desire, work-rate... There was a great save by David de Gea and we got the clean sheet.”
The Norwegian was nevertheless pleased with the overall performance from his team.
"That's what let us down, that quality on the ball,” he explained.
“The first half was scrappy. Poor game really. But then we played some good stuff at times. When we settled we created a few chances but we didn't have enough.”
