Solskjaer has 'no excuses' after Man Utd fall to lowly Newcastle

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says there are "no excuses" for Manchester United after their 1-0 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday.

The Red Devils poor season went from bad to worse with the defeat at St. James' Park, caused by Matty Longstaff's first goal for Toon.

United now have nine points from eight Premier League games.

They were without a number of senior players, including Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, but Solskjaer refused to blame the result on their absence.

He told Sky Sports: "We're disappointed. We did lack quite a few key players but that's no excuse.

"The players worked hard and ran their socks off but at the moment we're in a place we're not used to. Some of the boys lack a little bit of composure and we don't create enough chances to win a game of football.

"They stay together as a team but we don't create."
