Raul Jimenez’s strike on the turn and a superb solo effort from Diogo Jota put Wolves on course for victory against a ragged United side lacking the skill, verve and intensity that Solskjaer had instilled.A late Marcus Rashford goal did nothing to lift the mood and the interim manager had no complaints about the result of this quarter-final clash.“It was a big step backwards, I’ve got to say,” Solskjaer said. “That’s the poorest performance since I’ve come here. The lack of urgency forward, lack of forward passing, lack of regains.“Sometimes international breaks come in handy and we would have loved to play it again and put it right. “Hopefully some of them will have good experience with the national team, some will have a few days off and train hard here.“Then we will be ready to push again because we’re in a great position in the league, we’re in the Champions League.“Very disappointing tonight, though, that we’re not in the semis.”United’s second successive defeat brought an abrupt end to Solskjaer’s honeymoon period, leading him to give his side an honest post-match appraisal.Asked what he said to the players, the Norwegian said with a laugh: “Well, the truth. I’ve said to them not to you.
