Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits his side did not deserve to win against Aston Villa but insists he is not yet concerned about their league position.
Having recovered from Jack Grealish’s brilliant opener they took the lead through goalkeeper Tom Heaton’s own goal and Victor Lindelof’s header only to pegged back to 2-2 by Tyrone Mings’ volley.
Victory would have lifted United to fifth, just six points behind Chelsea, but a second successive league draw moved them to only ninth.
“I thought he was good at (Manchester) City before he got a whack and we missed him against Liverpool.”
Nevertheless, Smith felt short-changed by a point at Old Trafford after they gifted United a way back into the game after misjudgements by Mings and goalkeeper Heaton in the build-up.
“I sit here frustrated probably because of the the manner of the (United) first goal, which marred the performance of the first half,” he said.
“That goal got their tails up and they started the second half better but we weathered the storm.
“We’ve taken the lead at some top clubs, I thought today was a good performance, especially in the first half.”
