#2 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Solskjaer (L) and Rashford

Manchester United had a pretty tough February in the EPL with three away fixtures while only to hosting the table-toppers Liverpool.

Solskjaer's men recorded 1-0 and 3-0 victories against Leicester City and Fulham respectively. The home game against Liverpool ended up in a goal-less draw. Solskjaer had to cope up with a lot of injuries before and during the game. Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic were out to injury. Jesse Lingard was expected to play his part late in the game.

United had to make three subs in the first half itself with Juan Mata and Ander Herrera coming off to injuries and the sub Lingard pulling his hamstring when he took a run and came agonizingly close to scoring. United managed to hold on but this meant them dropping out of the top four in the table.

Upcoming EPL Fixtures for United

They play Southampton at Old Trafford before travelling to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal, which would be decisive for a top-four finish with only a point separating the Gunners and the Red Devils.
