As he prepares to take his team to face West Ham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United must "do better" following their humiliating midweek Champions League setback.

In the Premier League, though, it's a different story, with United leading the standings after three wins in their first four games, thanks to the return of Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Our attitude is like you'd expect it to be," Solskjaer said at his pre-match press conference on Thursday. "They're focused, of course a little disappointed but not too downbeat.

"You know, it's a setback, we have to do better, and we've got five games to get those 10, 12 points that we need.

"Of course it's not the start we wanted but we're a good team that can bounce back again."

"It's always the outcome that decides what headline we'll see and very, very rarely is the game either fantastic or really, really bad," he said. "It just hovers about good or not good enough.

"We know that the expectations are high and we expect more of ourselves as well. The performance level wasn't up to our standard."
