Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he's returning to the drawing board after defeat to Manchester City.

Solskjaer has suggested United will abandon the back three formation that led to mixed results against Tottenham, Atalanta and City, and switch to a more adventurous system against Watford on November 20.

"Players are human beings and when you lose a game of football there's no better remedy than winning a game, getting your confidence back," Solskjaer said. "Hopefully, the ones who go away do well.

"For us, it's all about Watford. We have to come out against Watford like a proper hurt animal and get back to what we know we can be. That's the only way to approach this and attack the situation.

"The short answer is yes, it's come at a good time for us now. As a group, we've had a difficult spell, we've come through it but this was a big step backward."
