Ole Gunnar Solskjaer aims dig at Jose Mourinho after Manchester Uniteds 5-1 win against Cardiff City
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took a dig at Jose Mourinho by insisting a Manchester United side should never be outworked after the Red Devils 5-1 win against Cardiff City.

The display was a return to the swashbuckling attacking football of Sir Alex Fergusons era and United were markedly more energetic all over the pitch.
