Man Utd stars including Matic and Wan-Bissaka ordered to stay behind for extra one-on-one attacking drills by Solskjaer
MANCHESTER UNITED stars Nemanja Matic and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been ordered to stay behind for extra one-on-one attacking drills by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Norwegian boss has got his side playing a more free-flowing, dynamic way than under predecessor Jose Mourinho.
And Solskjaer is keen to get his defensive-minded stars, Matic and Wan-Bissaka, thinking more about their attacking duties, according to the .
Matic, 31, has recently broken back into the Man Utd XI having been frozen out earlier on in the season.
And he is now set to sign a new two-year, £140,000-a-week contract as a reward for his fine form.
But to keep his place, the Serbian star will need to show some more attacking flair.

While United's stars are working from home - with personalised training and nutritional regimes - coaches have been working individually with Matic to boost his attacking instincts.
They have been running drills forcing the former Chelsea man to push forward rather than just sit back and absorb opponents' pressure.
Meanwhile Wan-Bissaka, 22, has been told to work on his crossing and decision-making in the final third.

The England star is arguably the best defensive right-back in England, ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier.
However, his work going forward trails his rivals for a Three Lions spot.
Solskjaer has therefore sent coaches to get his crossing skills up to scratch, while running other drills to ensure he makes the right decision rather than allow a promising counter-attack to fall apart.
The extra work seems to be paying off, with United on a 12-game unbeaten run.
