Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he’s impressed with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s run of form following Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Monday evening.
Scott McTominay put United ahead at Old Trafford with an excellent strike on the stroke of half time but Aubameyang equalised in the second half after VAR overturned the assistant referee’s initial offside call.
Aubameyang has now scored seven goals in as many Premier League games and will play a major part in Arsenal’s bid to secure a top-four finish this season.
And when asked about Aubameyang’s goal against United, Solskjaer told Sky Sports: ‘Good finish by the boy.
‘He’s seven now in seven games, so that’s clinical.
‘You think at the time maybe that Harry [Maguire] managed to get out but it was a few yards onside and a good finish.
‘Sometimes you hear a noise and you try your luck, don’t you? You’d rather blow the whistle and check it after if you’re not sure. I was and quite a few Man United fans were sure.’
Solskjaer also admitted that he was disappointed that United were unable to see out the game by scoring another goal in the second half.
‘We go 1-0 up and then we don’t get the second goal that we want to get,’ said the United manager.
‘That’s the learning now for this time. Be more cynical, clinical.
‘There are so many games we have been 1-0 up. We will learn. It’s a bad goal to give away but sometimes you make those passes, you play out and it looks good. We learn from it.
‘We are at the start of building something. It’s just a bit disappointing that we can’t get that second goal.’
