Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will continue to steer clear of mind games as Manchester United boss as he believes in “fairness” and “karma”.
Solskjaer bemoaned the impact of other managers’ comments about his side’s penalty record after seeing a spot-kick appeal for handball ignored in the 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Sunday.

The Norwegian has previously said that he would keep out of managerial mind games but when asked if he will have to start employing them to get a fair ride, he said with a laugh: “No.
“I believe in, how can I say it, fairness, karma and I’m just made the way I am.
“I will make it despite of, not because of. So, that’s just me. We’ll get through it. Don’t worry about that.”
Solskjaer’s side have won two of their last seven league games heading to Palace, where Donny Van De Beek may miss out and Paul Pogba’s absence continues due to a thigh issue picked up at the start of February.
“I hope we will (see him before March’s international break), definitely, and he’s very positive,” the United boss said of the France midfielder.
“He’s working really hard. He knows when he gets back we haven’t got two or three games to give him time to play into form so he’s working hard on his fitness.
“When you’ve got the quality of Paul his fitness is the main thing and mentality.
“You know when the sun is out in Manchester there’s nothing to complain about.”
