Man Utd keeper Grant: Solskjaer hasn't lost it

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still “pretty deadly" in front of goal!

That is according to United goalkeeper Lee Grant.

The Norwegian scored over 120 goals in 11 years at Old Trafford as a player. And Grant says he hasn't lost his touch.

“It was the first time I managed to get a glimpse of whether he still had it or not," Grant told MUTV.

“We had a shooting session and I was doing some one-on-one work with Romelu [Lukaku] and Paul [Pogba]. The manager came over and I could see he was limbering up in the corner of my eye.

“He got involved and he was still pretty deadly, I have to be honest. He had some bad luck because he kept hitting the same post in the same spot. But the touch was there and the instinct was still there.

“He is very, very clinical still. He did well and I am looking forward to seeing that game on Sunday."
