Solskjaer said there will be no excuses
So which excuses won't he be using?
Manchester United boss Solskjaer said: "Tonight it was about a lack of quality compared to them. They deserved to win.
"I'm disappointed to concede at two set-plays. We didn't have the margins with us. After they scored, we had more of the ball but we didn't create enough.
"Any team would miss Edinson [Cavani]. He could have caused havoc with his movement in the box. We did start to build momentum but we didn't have the edge to create a goal. We did put them under pressure.
"It is not just about Bruno [Fernandes] - the whole team has to create chances. Manchester City played well and we needed to be spot on. We didn't have the last pass."
