Ole Gunnar Solskjaer talks about the small margins that win the biggest games. On Wednesday against Manchester City, those margins were superior performances from players in blue. Fred didn’t play as well as his former teammate Fernandinho in a similar role, while the same could be said of Victor Lindelof and his old clubmate Ruben Dias, who was the man of match.
