Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said it is impossible for Manchester United's youngsters to play like Manchester City right now because they are not fully developed yet. Ole's team has found it hard to break down more defensive opposition this season, however, he feels the victory vs Newcastle proves their style can work. He added that the team needs to show more energy, drive, and urgency in upcoming games to get the appropriate result. His words, "I think it's been said in no uncertain terms what type of team we're," "Supporters know what we expect and know when we're at our best. "We showed that on Thursday and, even though we went a goal down, heads didn't drop. We've to make it hard to play against us. "We can't play tippy-tappy football and can't, at this moment in time, play like City - only City can do that. "We've to show more energy, drive and urgency, plus selflessness in every single game. That's the way we've to play at the moment." On top four, "We should get into the top four without waiting for the final game against Leicester," "I've said about this team that we may be challenging for tons more next year. We're young however, I expect tons from this team this year." On the scheduling of Christmas fixtures, "You are traditionalists in this country so I can't see it changing, however, it should," "I don't think it's fair on the boys at all. It's not fair to be expected to perform at the best of your ability, mentally and physically, 48 hours after you last played. "However, we're probably in the best position to perform on Saturday because the game [against Newcastle] was over after 45 minutes and we're a young side. "We've a chance against Burnley to perform at our best level. When you're 23, which I think was our average age against Newcastle, it makes it easier to recover than Burnley. "However, it's not fair, especially when there was a game against Watford just gone, a game on New Year's Day - two games in three days."
