Manchester United have done well since the corona break. After the Europa League quarter-finals, Zeca showed its gratitude to Solskjær.
On Monday night, Ole Gunnar Solskjær emerged victorious from the Norwegian coaching duel against Ståle Solbakken’s Copenhagen, in the Europa League quarterfinals.
Although most probably let themselves be impressed more by the Danes’ performance, a penalty kick from Bruno Fernandes in the first extra inning sent the red shirts on.

– Thank you for everything!
One who proved to be an important piece for FCK was captain Zeca, but after the match was blown, he felt to show his gratitude to Solskjær, for the job he has done for the club.
– Hi, thank you very much for everything you have done at Manchester United, you hear the captain say to Solskjær.
– We are trying to get up, the Norwegian answers.

Solskjær had Bruno Fernandes by his side when Zeca approached him. The Portuguese entered the United doors in January and has been a major contributor. Solskjær did not hide his enthusiasm for Fernandes in conversation with the FCK player.
– He helps, he continues with a smile on his face, and clearly refers to the offensive midfielder who walks next to him.
– Yes, he is incredible, Zeca answers Solskjær’s statements.
There is probably something in the statements, because in fourteen Premier League games Fernandes ended up with an incredible 15 goals, eight goals and seven assists.
Experts not impressed with United’s performance
Several times in the first round, the match’s commentators, Øyvind Alsaker and Nils Johan Semb, pointed out that there was debris in the United machinery.
– Watch United, they have very bad pressure on the ball carrier, and no pace in the defensive game. There is a lot of debris here. It is ball loss on its own half of the field that makes it a short way to the goal, and easy for FCK to take advantage of transitions, said Semb.
– There is something about the rhythm, there is something that fluffs for Manchester United during the day, colleague Alsaker followed up.

Åge Hareide, who was an expert in the studio, was also unimpressed by what he saw of his former student Solskjær and his team for the first 45 minutes.
– It is sluggish and weak, Hareide said and expected that Solskjær would deliver a thunderous speech to the players during the break.
Even after the break, United failed to decide the match and thus the settlement went to extra innings. Five minutes into the first extra inning, United took the lead. Bruno Fernandes sent Solskjær’s men in front from the penalty spot.
Since now only one match is played on a neutral court and not a home and away match as usual, it is thus United who are ready for the semi-finals in the Europa League, as there were no more goals than the Portuguese’s hit from the chalk mark.
There they meet the winner of Tuesday’s showdown between Wolverhampton and Sevilla.
