Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has revealed the club’s major weakness this season.

According to him, the club’s defense has been its biggest weakness so far this season, adding that the Red Devils have to work on it going forward.

He disclosed this during his post-match press conference following the club’s Premier League 2-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday, September 19.

Man United defeated West Ham at the London Stadium, thanks to two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Jesse Lingard.

“We have to work better defensively, no doubt,” Solskjaer said at his post-match press conference after Man United defeated West Ham.

“In the first half, we were too easy to play through.

“We will work on it because there is no respite when you play football. I have spoken about how you can’t take rests when you defend.

“We dropped into a back six [for the goal] and there were too many spaces. We were too late to charge the ball. We have already sorted that out and spoke about that at half-time.”

Man United will again face West Ham United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday at Old Trafford.
