Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is unhappy with the timing of their clash with Everton.

Speaking at a news conference before Saturday's Premier League match against Everton at Old Trafford (12:30 BST), Solskjaer criticised the scheduling of matches.

United beat Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday night but will play again less than 72 hours later, while Manchester City and Liverpool, who both played in Europe on Tuesday, meet in the league on Sunday.

"We had no explanation, but it's TV of course," Solskjaer said. "There's no common sense at all. We had the same scenario last season when we were in Turkey and came back and played.

"Us and Chelsea both played on Wednesday and could have easily played on Sunday while City-Liverpool could have been on Saturday.

"Common sense might not be so common."
