‘No problem’ with Fernandes after Spurs substitution
Solskjaer has insisted there is “no problem” with Bruno Fernandes after he was substituted at half-time during his side’s 6-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur prior to the international break.
The Portuguese midfielder had given his side an early lead from the penalty spot, but the sending off of Anthony Martial meant he was sacrificed for Nemanja Matic.
Rumours later emerged of a dressing room bust up between Fernandes, Matic and Harry Maguire, but they have been denied by both player and manager.
“There are many reasons behind subs in a game and if I explain every time I take a player off to the media, I don’t think that’s the right thing,” Solskjaer said. “I have explained to Bruno and he accepted it no problem.
“It’s always external pressure [after a defeat]. For me, we need to stick together, that we are a group and that we stick together. When you lose a game, the first thing you need to do is bounce back in the next one and we’ve got a chance to do it against Newcastle.
“I don’t know who 'we' are or 'they' are but false stories come out and that’s 'them'. I don’t know who started them, but you can see Bruno’s reaction as well. He’s clearly not happy with them.
“But then welcome to Man United. You are everyone’s favourite target if something goes wrong.”

She said: "I went to ballet school as a little girl, I loved it and my dream was to become a ballerina.
"In truth I wasn't quite good enough.
"I was a little bit short and a little bit round and I have always had a kind of longing to see if I could be better at it."

BBC Radio One presenter Clara Amfo, 36, was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec.

Singh said: "Giovanni was hand on heart the dancer that I really, really wanted."
Anton Du Beke, who was paired with former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, 57, tweeted to say it is a "tremendous achievement" to get the programme back on television screens amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He wrote: "So excited that Strictly series 18 is all systems go - such a tremendous achievement by everyone involved in making this happen!"

Jacqui said: "I'm completely out of my comfort zone but I'm going to prove that even when you are in your late 50s you can learn new things and find joy in a new adventure."

The Olympic champion, 37, has been teamed up with pro Katya Jones, 31.

Katya said: ''I think the beauty of this partnership is it's never been done before on Strictly so basically we are free to do what we want, there's no real rules.''
And Nicola says she is ''so excited'' to have announced her partner.
'I couldn't have been paired with a better partner than a fellow champ in her own right and I can't wait to see what creative dance routines Katya comes up with," she said.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-17--Manchester United bench's reaction to Juan Mata shows his impact

If Manchester United ran a competition to predict their team against Newcastle none of the estimated 1.1 billion fans would have guessed it .
There were agreeable alterations ( Paul Pogba dropped ) , disagreeable decisions ( Donny van de Beek on the bench ) and mind-boggling picks ( Daniel James ) .
As a United fan on Twitter - minus the expletives - put it , : `` What 's the point of signing a player and then not playing him after you 've been smashed 6-1 in your last game ? ''
Van de Beek showed why he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for it was his slick alertness that sparked the breakaway that Bruno Fernandes crowned to salvage a potentially pivotal victory .
Pogba , dropped for the first time by a manager who has precariously indulged his privileges , was the first arrival off the bench but Van de Beek 's impacts are dwarfing his competitor 's .
Van de Beek 's debut goal and instrumental role in the last-gap win at Brighton ought to have convinced Solskjaer by now that Van de Beek 's role is on the pitch and not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another elegant performance from Juan Mata , who brought the United substitutes to their feet upon his removal in added time .
Some hollered 'mago ' in approval and turning to Mata was a call Solskjaer was never going to regret .
Most of the contentious calls were in defence , altered only by the removal of Eric Bailly for Victor Lindelof from the trouncing by Tottenham and the recalled Swede caused another leak .
Lindelof was turned with alarming ease by Callum Wilson to spark the breakaway that ended with Luke Shaw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ de Gea in the second minute .
United still had enough opportunities to add points and move into the top half of the table and eventually did so nervelessly .
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 's first career goal and a Marcus Rashford strike added gloss in added time to address the goal difference - still in minus numbers .
They have navigated the calm before the storm during a pivotal period .
United 's next three league fixtures are at home to Chelsea and Arsenal and away to leaders Everton , back in United 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in November .
Their resolve in going 1-0 down so early was most impressively represented by Harry Maguire .
Maguire started so forlornly he shouted 'time ' when Scott McTominay had none and called 'Harry 's only to balloon the ball towards his own area .
Maguire , guilty of squandering a header at the Gallowgate in last year 's October loss , atoned with a classic connection from Mata 's corner to equalise .
Maguire was not cowed by his disasterclasses for club and country and was again United 's most vocal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 'keep playing ' .
His leadership and leveller vindicated his manager 's faith and the United captain had a second-half header smuggled off the line .
A defensive inquest is still essential with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar waiting in Paris on Tuesday .
De Gea 's favoured phrase in empty stadiums is 'switch on ' and he got louder the closer Newcastle approached his goal .
The usually placid Spaniard is becoming more animated behind a porous defence that cost just under £200million with Lindelof back in it , and De Gea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a magnificent denial of Wilson at 1-1 .
Appreciation for the save has doubled in light of the final score .
Eric Bailly was told to warm up early in the first-half and there is every chance it was prompted by a teammate 's form , rather than their fitness .
Steve Bruce , once the prototype for artisan United centre halves , urged Wilson to duel with Lindelof .
The Newcastle striker was strangely tentative at times , much to his manager 's chagrin .
The United XI was again devoid of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment of Van de Beek in danger of spiralling into a sub-plot reminiscent of Ander Herrera and Henrikh Mkhitaryan 's omissions of yesteryear before his game-changing cameo .
Alex Telles inevitably started on the bench following his flight back from Sao Paulo but will have been encouraged by Shaw 's shoddy start .
Those usually stood on the Gallowgate would have quickened their step on the walk to St James ' Park and ' # Oleout ' was trending online pre-match .
Those in the press box , situated six floors up in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , did not get their kill .
The irony of a defender extinguishing Newcastle 's advantage was United were indebted to their forwards for their revival .
Marcus Rashford , the lone frontman for the first time since Newcastle away last year , provided a commendable presence despite his entitled demands of referee Craig Pawson and Mata and Bruno Fernandes dovetailed elegantly .
Rashford 's shrieks alerted the Video Assistant Referee in the second-half and Pawson eventually determined Jamal Lewis had trod on the forward 's ankle inside the area .
Fernandes is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open play yet his 11th spot-kick for United was repelled by Karl Darlow just shy of the hour .
He recovered with just his second non-dead ball goal for United to deflate Newcastle and then their dam burst .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-17--Mikel Arteta asks VAR question after Arsenal beaten by Man City

Mikel Arteta suggested that the VAR official did not adequately check a possible penalty against Kyle Walker in Manchester City 's victory over Arsenal .
After City had taken the lead through Raheem Sterling in the first half , Ederson produced three big saves to deny Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when through on goal .
And just before half time , Arteta felt Arsenal should have been awarded a penalty for a high boot from Walker as he challenged for a ball with Gabriel Magalhaes at a corner .
Walker did not make contact with Gabriel , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on-field officials did not judge there to have been an offence , immediately blowing for half-time with no apparent VAR review .
But Arteta said he was told that the VAR did take a look at the incident and judge there to have been no foul - something the Spaniard clearly disagreed with .
`` I am upset because I think we deserved more from the game , '' Arteta told Sky Sports .
`` I 'm extremely happy with the performance against a top , top team .
To come here with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it as difficult as we made today , I have to say I can not demand more from the players .
Apart from when you have three big chances in a game you have to score .
`` The three of them were really good and obviously the situation we have after the corner with Kyle Walker in that situation .
`` That has to be checked .
They say they have checked and I ask 'how the hell have you checked if you took two seconds to check that action ? '
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arteta also pointed to his spell as assistant to Pep Guardiola , using his knowledge of City 's approach to declare that his Arsenal side are already much-improved from when he took over nearly a year ago .
He continued : `` I have to review that but every goal the opponent scores there is something early or after .
We can not change that .
`` We know everything has to be perfect in both boxes against them but again I have to say we 've come a long way .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that dressing room for four years and I know what it takes to do what we did tonight . ''

That goal was Sterling 's 35th since August 2019 and no other Premier League players has scored as many , with Harry Kane ( 32 ) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ( 31 ) his closest competitors .
`` It 's incredible , '' Neville said during co-commentary .
