Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

An angry Ole Gunnar Solskjaer labelled Manchester United's performance in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Southampton a "joke".

According to The Sun, the United boss tore into his squad after they failed to find a winning goal against 10-man opposition at the weekend.

Solskjaer is said to have vented his frustration in the away dressing room at St Mary's, labelling the display a "joke" and "embarrassing". 

Solskjaer has demanded an improved performance when United take on Leicester next weekend.
