Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's touchline bust-up with Chris Wilder explained with 2 key quotes
  • Manchester United emerged the victors as they beat Sheffield United 3-2 at Bramall Lane but it was not an easy win.
  • The Blades made us fight hard and were an extremely physical side to deal with - which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not take lightly. For example, George Baldock pushed Bruno Fernandes twice and no one batted an eyelid.
  • The boss got into a war of words with Chris Wilder on the touchline in the 94th minute of the game.
  • They went at each other for a while before the tussle stopped and after the game, both managers explained their sides of the coin.

What Solskjaer said: "I don't mind a fair tackle, but when it's a second after a tackle's been made - and there was a couple right in front of me.

"I think it's one of these games that the boys will learn from, it's a proper game and it's like football should be. I apologised, I maybe went overboard with a word, but we'll have a drink after, me and Chris."

What Wilder said: "We have to be brave, we want to make contact with good players - that's what I said to the manager [Ole] at the end.

"I said we're not going to just stand off them, like we did against Southampton, we have to go and make contact with good players."
