What FC Copenhagen star told Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Europa League exit

Manchester United beat FC Copenhagen 1-0 in their Europa League quarter-final clash on Monday night.

FC Copenhagen star Zeca thanked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the work done at Manchester United so far after the club’s narrow Europa League defeat on Monday night. 

The Danish side put up a good fight in their semi-final clash. But it wasn’t enough, with the Red Devils emerging victorious courtesy of a penalty from Bruno Fernandes.

Manchester United weren’t at their best against FC Copenhagen, with the Danish side surprising everybody with a solid and composed performance.

But Solskjaer’s men got the job done in the end, with Fernandes the hero of the hour.

The Portugal international scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot, converting after Anthony Martial had been fouled inside the area.

For United, the result means they’re just two matches away from winning their first piece of silverware under Solskjaer.

And, after the match against FC Copenhagen, the cameras picked up on Zeca thanking Solskjaer for the work done at the club so far.

"Thank you very much for everything you have done in Manchester,” he said to Solskjaer, exchanging a handshake with the United manager.

And Solskjaer responded by saying ‘we’re trying to bring it back’.

The United manager has done well in his first full season at the helm and since January in particular.

Just about every fan and pundit was quick to dismiss the 47-year-old back in the New Year, especially after a turgid 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

But United have lost just once in the 24 matches played since then and there’s a sense that, after years of struggling following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, they’re getting back to where they used to be.

Meanwhile, speaking after Monday night’s game, Solskjaer insisted his team were deserving of the win.
