The Norwegian remains confident that the team will do so gradually as they seek to rediscover the good post-blocking form that earned him the Champions League standings.
“I don’t question the spirit and character of the guys because I see them every day, the spirit is there,” United manager Solskjaer said.
“It is possible that sharpness and fitness are not there, and the form, however, will come.
“We have three, 4 weeks to catch up to catch up for a few and the more games we play, the more minutes the guys will have 90 minutes, we will be better and sharper. “
Fernandes sent the shot with confidence in the 10th minute of the extra time. Referee Chris Kavanagh had first beeped full-time before checking the checkout monitor and penalizing Neal Maupay for handball.
United seemed ready to start a season in the best position without winning either of their first two games for the first time since 2014, when Solly March correctly controlled Brighton’s point five minutes earlier.
United turned the game around to lead thanks to a very good solo shot by Marcus Rashford and a purpose opposed to Lewis Dunk’s appearance after Maupay’s penalty.
In a series of incidents, Albion hit the wood five times and had a penalty moment overturned through the VAR, while United had two goals ruled offside.
Despite the Seagulls’ 18 attempts, the technician praised the functionality of defenseman Victor Lindelof following his mistakes in defeating Palace and content with the defensive features at his disposal.
“Our form is there, we’re accurate enough to pass out to avoid crosses or to stay in the races, so we’re a little late,” he said.
“These are more structural mistakes than individual mistakes, and Victor did well.
“For me, we have enough central defenses here right now. “
The winner of the match, Fernandes, is to blame for each of Brighton’s goals, knocking Tariq Lamptey down for the penalty and not following the March race.
The Portuguese foreigner told the United website: “Sometimes you have to be lucky, you have to have protectors to protect you and a goalkeeper as well. “
“Okay, on the targets we want to do a lot better, I think we’re all going to paint about it. “
Brighton’s head coach Graham Potter will have to temporarily lift his team before a rematch with United in the fourth circular of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
“Fortunately for my center and my level of tension, I didn’t play too many games like that,” he said.
“I hope that when everything calms down a little bit, the boys can think and think that their point of functionality was smart in front of a smart team.
“It’s how brutal this league is, but that’s the challenge we have.
“We want to keep working with our ideas, keep running our game and the margins are turning in our favor and then there may be problems rather than just performance.
