Man Utd hero Park Ji-Sung: Ole's team have psychological issue

Manchester United hero Park Ji-Sung can understand the team's inconsistency under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Park believes the reasons why United have failed to build on a successful start under Solskjaer lie in psychology.

“I believe there was a psychological issue," Park told Goal. “At the beginning of his time as a manager at Man Utd, there was a strong motivation for finishing top four and also Champions League.

“But, after they knocked out of the Champions League, and lost a game in the league, they suffered from the pressure. I believe that kind of psychological pressure was hard for the players.

“About next season, it's important for Man Utd to support their manager. Supporting the manager to get the players he wants. The quicker, the better, so that new players can spend the pre-season together with the current team."
