Having been part of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United trophy-winning machine, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows exactly what is expected from the man in the Old Trafford managerial hot seat.
Solskjaer left the likes of talisman Bruno Fernandes, in-form Luke Shaw and the reliable Scott McTominay out of his starting lineup and his side were outplayed in a 3-1 loss. "I am demoralised a little bit as a Manchester United fan as I thought was a really good one to go for," Solskjaer's former United team mate Gary Neville told Sky Sports.Victory would have set up a semi-final against a woefully out-of-form Southampton side and a chance to go head-to-head with either Chelsea or Manchester City in the final - the sort of high-profile game United crave.
Solskjaer insists he had no regrets about rotating his team at Leicester, where Paul Pogba and Donny van der Beek both started, saying the likes of Fernandes had to be rested.
