In that time, the Red Devils have scored just six times, conceding 20. Since April 2, the club have not scored from open play either.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, the power shift in Manchester has swung in favour of the Citizens.
Wednesday’s win moved Pep Guardiola’s men one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the table and Solskjaer conceded there is a gap to be closed.

“We didn’t hit the target too many times but the work rate was there. We just wasn’t good enough.
“There’s a difference in quality – that’s why they are top of the league. They’ve set the standard. Living in Manchester, we can’t be happy with that.
“That’s up to us to close the gap and eventually overtake them. That’s the challenge.”
Although Arsenal suffered a humiliating defeat at Wolves, United look set for Europa League football next season.
