Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has voiced out his opinion regarding Roy Keane's latest Manchester United tirade, saying that he does feel angry when the club loses, but he isn't the type to show his emotions.
In an interview with Sky Sports, the Man Utd boss admitted that there was anger toward the Red Devils when West Ham United defeated the club 2-0, confirming what Keane said about his former teammate was "fuming" with his players. However, he was quick to point out that what he felt was something not out of the ordinary.
"Why wouldn't you be angry when you lose a game? Of course you're angry within," Solskjaer said. "I want to win every single training session. I wanted to beat Roy in cards on the team coach! But I don't show it to everyone."
United had a poor start to the 2019-20 season, bagging only two wins out of six league matches. The club even needed penalties to see off Rochdale AFC in the Carabao Cup.
Keane, former United captain, has expressed in one of Sky Sports' shows that the Red Devils had been a disappointment this season.
"It's a long way back for Utd. It's scary how far they have fallen."

Jose Mourinho admits he sees 'no improvement' this season: https://t.co/JpxMJjgcEL pic.twitter.com/2267AKR8nk — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) September 22, 2019
Manchester United will meet Arsenal next, struggling to break free form the bottom half of the ranking. They are already 13 points behind leaders Liverpool and their next clash looks like several key players will be missing.
In the same interview, Solskjaer insisted that he is still in the middle of rebuilding the squad and admitted that it would take time before the club reaches the glory they were once known for.
According to the Norwegian gaffer, the desire is always present, but for now, everything is about creating a new structure and bring everybody together.
After Jose Mourinho left United, Solskjaer took his place permanently in March following an impressive record as caretaker manager. He earned the club 14 games and two draws in his first 19 matches, easily gaining the trust of the club owners and receive a contract of three years.
However, things seem to have gone stale after his appointment. They finished sixth in the Premier League without a trophy and was 32 points behind champions Manchester City.
