Solskjaer insists Man Utd ‘played well first half’ despite trailing Atalanta 2-0 – but Scholes blasts ’emotional’ boss

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER insisted Manchester United ‘played well in the first half’ – despite trailing Atalanta 2-0 at home.

But former team-mate Paul Scholes completely disagreed with the ’emotional’ manager in a stinging assessment.

United fell behind after just 15 minutes when Mario Pasalic fired in.

Then Merih Demiral made it 2-0 for the Italians with a free header just before the half-hour mark.
