Football: Juve foiled by Gervinho brace after leading 3-1

MILAN (REUTERS) - Parma forward Gervinho scored twice as his team hit back from 3-1 behind on Saturday (Feb 2) to draw 3-3 at Serie A leaders Juventus who dropped points for only the third time in the league this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo also scored twice, making him Serie A's leading scorer with 17 goals, to put Juve in command but a brilliant flicked goal by Gervinho followed by a stoppage-time equaliser meant the Turin side's lead over Napoli was cut to nine points.
Juventus, chasing an eighth successive Serie A title and still unbeaten, have 60 points from 22 games while Napoli have 51 after their 3-0 win over Sampdoria earlier on Saturday Juve went ahead in the 36th minute when Ronaldo collected Blaise Matuidi's pass in the penalty area and, although slipping, managed to produce a shot which deflected off a defender and beat Luigi Sepe.
Juventus were awarded a penalty for a foul on Martin Caceres at the end of the first half but the referee revoked it after a reviewing it on the pitchside monitor.
Daniele Rugani put Juventus 2-0 ahead in the 62nd minute after a series of ricochets, Antonino Barilla headed one back two minutes later and Ronaldo restored Juve's two-goal lead with a towering header in the 66th minute.
Former Arsenal and Roma forward Gervinho reduced the arrears again by turning in Juraj Kucka's low cross with a clever back-heeled flick at the near post in the 74th minute.
Deep into stoppage time, Juventus failed to clear the ball and Roberto Inglese forced his way to the goal-line and pulled the ball back for Gervinho, who scored with a shot which Mattia Perin got his hand to but could not stop.

Qatar hammer hosts UAE before hostile crowd

ABU DHABI â€¢ Qatar, 2022 World Cup hosts, cruised into Friday's Asian Cup final against Japan in style, still yet to concede in six matches after a 4-0 rout of hosts United Arab Emirates yesterday.
The opener came on 22 minutes when goalkeeper Khalid Eisa let a seemingly harmless Boualem Khoukhi shot from the edge of the box sneak under his hands.
Almoez Ali doubled the lead on 37 minutes with his eighth goal of the tournament, a curler into the bottom corner that equalled the record by Iranian legend Ali Daei in 1996.
In the 81st minute, Hassan Al-Haydos broke away and dinked the ball over the goalkeeper.
Then UAE's Ismail Ahmed was sent off for an off-the-ball elbow after Mexican referee Cesar Ramos reviewed the incident on the pitch-side monitor.
Hamid Ismail completed the rout three minutes into stoppage time in a two-on-three counter.
The clash at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium was played under a cloud of political dispute in the Gulf. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt have imposed a diplomatic, trade and transport boycott of Qatar since June 2017 over allegations Doha supports terrorism, a charge Qatar denies.
Qatar faced a hostile crowd at the sold-out 43,000-seat stadium in Abu Dhabi, where the emirate's sport authority offered free tickets to UAE fans.
Qatari nationals, who previously travelled freely in the Gulf, cannot enter the UAE unless they receive a special permit. But the team have had support from some Omanis, whose country has taken a neutral stand in the row.

SEMI-FINAL

Qatar 4
United Arab Emirates 0

Japan beat Iran 3-0 on Monday and are now seeking their fifth title, while Iran coach Carlos Queiroz has said he was standing down after nearly eight years.
The former Real Madrid coach had been hoping to deliver Iran's first continental title since 1976 but Japan scored three second-half goals to send them crashing out.
"I think the simplest thing to do is to copy the famous song: 'And now, the end is here'," the 65-year-old Portuguese said, misquoting the famous Frank Sinatra song, My Way.
"I'm very happy and very proud because I did it my way.
"A huge, huge thank you to my players for everything. Taking into account the difficulties... They are going to be in my heart for the rest of my life."
Queiroz, who has been linked with Colombia, took Iran to the World Cup Finals twice, earning one win in six matches.

Football: Neymar heads to Qatar for medical assessment

PARIS (AFP) - Neymar will travel to Qatar to undergo a "complete assessment" six weeks into his recovery from a fractured right foot, the club said on Thursday (March 8).
The Brazil forward watched on forlornly from the stands at the Parc des Princes as PSG crashed out of the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday to Manchester United on away goals following a 3-1 defeat.
"Neymar Jr will travel to Aspetar (sports clinic) in Qatar for the next 3 days as scheduled in the initial recovery plan," the club wrote on its Twitter account.
"He will undertake a complete assessment after six weeks of his injury. He will be accompanied by a medical team from PSG."
The 27-year-old damaged the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in a French Cup win over Strasbourg on January 23 and was ruled out for 10 weeks.
PSG were hoping he would be healed enough to get back on the pitch in time for a potential Champions League quarter-final in April, but the French side suffered a humiliating exit as United sensationally overturned a 2-0 first-leg deficit.

Football: Liverpool title bid hit by Matip injury

LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool defender Joel Matip will be out of action for up to six weeks after suffering a fractured collarbone.
Matip was injured in the final minutes of Liverpool's 1-0 win against Napoli in the Champions League at Anfield on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old landed awkwardly following an aerial challenge and is now set to undergo surgery.
"Matip was taken to hospital following the fixture and further assessment deemed an operation is required," a Liverpool statement said.
"Early indications suggest the centre-back is facing a spell of up to six weeks out of action, though that is dependent on how Matip responds to his treatment and rehabilitation programmes."
Cameroon centre-back Matip had started the Reds' last three matches and his injury is blow to Liverpool's hopes of remaining on top of the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp's side, who sit one point above Manchester City, are already without injured defender Joe Gomez for six weeks after he suffered a leg fracture in last week's win at Burnley.

Football: I cannot stop Messi alone, admits Liverpool's Van Dijk

LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk insists he will not face a personal duel against Lionel Messi in his side's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
Van Dijk is in contention for player of the year awards in England thanks to his transformative effect on Liverpool since becoming the world's most expensive defender when moving from Southampton for Â£75 million (S$130 million) last January.
However, the Dutchman believes a collective effort is required to halt Messi, who has scored 45 goals this season, two of which helped Barca beat Manchester United 4-0 on aggregate to progress to the last four.
"I think he's the best player in the world but we'll see. It's going to be a great match-up for all of us," said Van Dijk, who netted himself as Liverpool thrashed Porto 4-1 on Wednesday to complete a 6-1 aggregate victory.
"It's about doing it all together, it's never one-v-one, it's never just me against a particular striker.
"It's always us against everyone and I think that's the only way we can defend well."
Liverpool's defence could be further bolstered for the Premier League and Champions League run-in by the return of Joe Gomez. Gomez formed a formidable partnership with Van Dijk earlier in the season before breaking a leg in December.

Â
Gomez made his return as a substitute in northern Portugal and is also preparing himself for the prospect of facing the "best player in the world" in Messi.
"It'll be a difficult game. They're one of the best in the world, clearly, and they've probably got the best player in the world and many others around him," said Gomez.
"So it's going to be a difficult game, but that's what the Champions League is about.
"You don't get this far to have easy games and we know you have to earn your place in the next round."

Gotze predicts success for diligent Dortmund

Gotze predicts success for diligent Dortmund
MONACO â€¢ Borussia Dortmund star Mario Gotze is confident that his German side can go far in the Champions League after they qualified for the last 16 as Group A winners with a 2-0 win over Thierry Henry's Monaco on Tuesday.
Portugal midfielder Raphael Guerreiro scored twice to claim all three points for the visitors as they snatched top spot from Atletico Madrid - who could only draw 0-0 at Club Brugge - with a superior head-to-head record.
"With all the possession we had, you'd have to say we deserved the win in the end," Gotze said on the club's official website.
"Winning the group makes it that bit sweeter. We were saying before the match that we felt Atletico might draw 0-0. Fortunately, this turned out to be the case.
"The situation is really positive. As long as we work hard as a team, both in defence and in attack, we're going to have a lot of success."
Meanwhile, Atletico president Enrique Cerezo stole the limelight before their match when he appeared to let slip a sexist remark, telling a female reporter he did not wish to discuss money with a woman.
Cristina Garcia Tirado of Spanish television station Cuatro had asked if the club had enough money to offer a new contract to veteran defender Diego Godin.
"To be sincere, I don't like to speak about money because it is uncouth, and even less so with a woman," Cerezo said in response to her question.
Garcia herself played down the comment, saying Cerezo was "a great person and a gentleman" and had always been respectful to her and other women.
"It was an unfortunate moment from the president but, normally, he is very respectful towards me. I think it was a lapse and he didn't think about his answer. He has always treated me kindly," she said.
"It's true that sometimes he says things and makes jokes without thinking about the consequences, but he does not want to cause any harm."
Last week, French DJ Martin Solveig was widely criticised for asking Lyon forward Ada Hegerberg, when she came on stage to receive the inaugural Ballon d'Or award for the best player in women's football, whether she could "twerk".
In Istanbul, Group D winners Porto struggled to a 3-2 away victory over Galatasaray but, despite the loss, the Turkish side finished third and secured a spot in the Europa League's round of 32.
Lokomotiv Moscow had needed a win against already-qualified Schalke to have any hope of snatching third place away from Galatasaray, but they fell to a stoppage-time goal from Alessandro Schoepf and finished bottom after the 1-0 defeat.

Football: Dogged Argentina hold Japan to goalless draw in women's World Cup

PARIS (AFP) -Â Japan failed to break down a determined and well-organised Argentine defence in Paris on Monday (June 10) in the first goalless draw of the Women's World Cup.
Japan, finalists in 2015 and winners in 2011, enjoyed almost two thirds of possession in front of a crowd of 25,000, but only forced two saves from goalkeeper Vanina Correa.
Argentina's women, who have never won a match at the World Cup, managed three tame late strikes, none of which tested Ayaka Yamashita.
The result, which earned Argentina's women their very first point in a World Cup, leaves both teams on one point in Group D, behind England who beat Scotland on Sunday (June 9).
When the whistle blew at Paris Saint-Germain's Parc des Princes stadium Argentina's substitutes jumped off the bench to join the players on the pitch at finally getting a point on the World Cup board at the seventh attempt.
"This point is really important for us. I think we're able to reflect upon what Argentina is and what it means as a team," said Estefania Banini, Argentina's captain who was voted player of the match.
"We weren't good enough to break down Argentina's defence today," said Asako Takakura, the Japan coach.
Argentina came out to defend with a back four pressing high up the field, the midfield quartet forming a screen a few yards in front and attacker Banini dropping back to fill the gaps.
It worked.
"Basically we couldn't play any other way against this team," said Carlos Borrello, the Argentina manager.
"We had to keep ourselves back and focused, and be very, very organised with that sort of attitude to come out with a counter-attack. It was satisfying to gain a point in this World Cup." Japan managed only two shots in the first half, neither close to the goal. But Argentina did not attempt any.
When Japanese goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita came out to collect a high and hopeful cross after 40 minutes, the crowd roared.
Banini, short, left-footed and wearing number 10, has inevitably been dubbed the female Lionel Messi, but in build and manner she more closely resembles another left-footed Argentine 10, Diego Maradona.
She was tenacious both with and without the ball and both first-half yellow cards were for rough Japanese challenges on the Argentine captain.
Japan played with more urgency in the second half, pushing Argentina back.
"We don't set out to be defensive against any team," said Takakura. "Of course we have to keep a very solid defence but we don't want to play defensive football. It wasn't in our mindset at all. But the players were cautious today.

Â
"In the second half, they realised they had to be more offensive - so their tempo was faster and they attempted more shots at goal." After 50 minutes, Kumi Yokoyama's drive from 35 metres drew a sprawling save from Vanina Correa. The ball ran to Yuki Sugasawa who blasted over from close range.
Then a clever Japanese move gave Yui Hasegawa a shooting chance near the penalty spot but she sliced wide.
As Japan pressed, Argentina had more chances to counter attack. Banini tormented the Japanese defenders with jinking runs, but could not create a clear chance. Argentina were credited with five goal attempts, all in the last 20 minutes, but none were dangerous.
Since the group stage only eliminates eight of the 24 teams, the draw leaves Japan and Argentina needing one victory in their next two games. Both will need to find a way to score.
"We've still got two teams to face and they're going to be really competitive," said Banini. "We have to play really intelligent, compact football and become a really compact team and I think that we can progress.
"We believe that we can continue fighting and we can get more points and not go home with just one." Later Monday Canada face Cameroon in Group E.

Football: Aston Villa into playoff final after shootout win over West Brom

BRITAIN (REUTERS) - Aston Villa beat Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion 4-3 on penalties to reach the Championship playoff final on Tuesday (May 14) after the tie ended 2-2 on aggregate.
Tammy Abraham, on loan from Chelsea, scored the decisive spot kick to send Villa into a Wembley final against either Derby County or Leeds United with a lucrative spot in the Premier League up for grabs.
Villa won the first leg 2-1 at home but Craig Dawson's first-half header levelled it up for West Brom.
The hosts had Chris Brunt sent off with 10 minutes of normal time remaining but they managed to hold out in the face of a Villa siege to get through extra time and into a shootout.
Keeper Jed Steer put Villa in control with great saves from Mason Holgate and Ahmed Hegazi.
Albert Adomah could have sealed it for Villa but lifted his kick over the bar and when James Morrison scored for West Brom it piled the pressure on Abraham, but the young striker found the back of the net to spark celebrations.

Motivated for london derby
LONDON â€¢ Despite claiming that Tottenham's English Premier League title hopes are over, Mauricio Pochettino believes his players will still be motivated to give their best shot when they host Arsenal at Wembley today.
Spurs were dreaming of a title challenge just a week ago, but back-to-back defeats by Burnley and Chelsea mean that even their top-four spot is now in danger.
But the Tottenham manager remained hopeful for today's north London derby, saying: "Of course to motivate for this type of game is an easy job.
"We don't need to motivate the players. We know very well what it means to play against Arsenal.
"We know that we're going to be very motivated and we'll have a team that is very motivated, too."
Third-placed Spurs are on 60 points and their lead over the Gunners is down to just four, with Manchester United and Chelsea also close behind in the race for the final two Champions League places next season.

"Of course it's going to be tough, They have very good players, they are doing a very good job," the Argentinian added.
"But my team is doing a fantastic job in the last five years. I can talk from where we have arrived. We are changing that perception that Tottenham were a little bit soft."
Following today's match, Tottenham still have to travel to title-chasing Liverpool and Manchester City in the final nine games of the league campaign.
Much of the damage done in the past week will be forgotten should Spurs bounce back in the derby and open up what ought to be a decisive seven-point advantage over Arsenal.
For Unai Emery, a thrilling 4-2 win over Tottenham in early December was the highlight of his first season as Arsenal boss.
However, in contrast to their stunning form at the Emirates, Arsenal have won just once on the road in the Premier League in their past seven games and that was at rock-bottom Huddersfield.
Emery's embarrassment of riches going forward was demonstrated in a 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth on Wednesday.
However, the Spaniard has struggled to find the right balance as Arsenal have not kept a clean sheet away from home in the Premier League all season.
There would be no better way for him to win over a still-unconvinced fan base than by curing his side's travel sickness today and delivering another blow to Spurs and solidifying Arsenal's own position.
Emery, though, knows it is no easy task to play at Wembley.
"There was a 10-point difference two weeks ago and now it's four points. We are playing for three points and more," he said at his press conference yesterday.
"But each derby is different. Playing home and away can be very different. Matches like tomorrow the players know it's important first to get three points and because it is special for the supporters.
"We must play with confidence and keep our minds free."

Football: Pogba strikes twice as Man United win on Solskjaer home debut

MANCHESTER, England (AFP) - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's instant impact as Manchester United interim manager continued in his first home game in charge as two goals from Paul Pogba helped his team secure a 3-1 win over Huddersfield.
After a resounding 5-1 victory at Cardiff, in his first game since replacing Jose Mourinho at the weekend, Solskjaer saw his team make it six points in five days over the Christmas period.
More significantly, the win and performance also maintained the positive atmosphere generated by the arrival of the popular Norwegian, who spent nearly 15 years with the club as player and coach before moving to his current club Molde.
The first Old Trafford goal of the Solskjaer era came after 28 minutes after a Pogba free-kick had deflected off Philip Billing and behind for a corner.
Marcus Rashford swung over a cross which was met by Victor Lindelof with a goalbound flick that Christopher Schindler cleared off the line, only as far as Nemanja Matic, unmarked at the far post, who steered in his first goal of the season.
United had dominated possession to the point, without unduly troubling Jonas Lossl in the visitors' goal, and Solskjaer's animated reaction on the touchline during that period showed his passion for the task.
It was a point not lost on the United supporters who had given their new caretaker manager a heartfelt welcome on his return to the club where his playing career ended in 2007.

Â
Solskjaer could not conceal the delight on his face as he strode down the touchline before kick-off, dressed in club blazer and tie, waving to supporters as he made his way to the dugout.
A banner proclaiming "20-Legend" - Solskjaer's shirt number in his United playing days - also made a return to the stands at Old Trafford, another reminder of the hero status the Norwegian holds at the club following his match-winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final.

KEY TACTICAL SWITCH

But Solskjaer was not in for an easy afternoon. Huddersfield, who had moved bottom in the Premier League before kick-off, wasted a glorious chance after just 10 minutes, Terence Kongolo clearing the bar from six yards after a long throw-in by Billing.
And, when the visitors started the second half comfortably the more threatening of the two teams Solskjaer responded with an important double substitution that saw Ander Herrera and Ashley Young brought on.
Briefly, Huddersfield maintained their threat and a brilliantly-worked Alex Pritchard corner allowed Laurent Depoitre a 15-yard shot which David de Gea kept out with a magnificent, diving, one-handed stop.
That made the timing of Pogba's first goal all the more significant as he doubled United's lead just seconds later.
Rashford started the move with a darting 63rd minute run and pass to Juan Mata who reached the byline before pulling the ball back to Herrera whose square pass allowed Pogba to convert an accurate finish from 16 yards.
Pogba had only scored two Premier League goals in the same game on one other occasion - the derby victory at Manchester City in April that ranked as one of the highlights of Mourinho's time in charge.
But he would repeat the trick in Solskjaer's second game in charge, exchanging passes with Jesse Lingard after 77 minutes before beating Lossl with a spectacular right-foot finish from 25 yards.
Huddersfield at least claimed a late consolation as substitute Steve Mounie outjumped Pogba to head on an 88th minute Pritchard free-kick, setting up Mathias Jorgensen who slotted in from close range.

Ole aiming for European glory

LONDON â€¢ Manchester United can ride their resurgence to mount a realistic challenge for the Champions League, said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is edging closer to becoming the club's permanent manager.
United's remarkable upturn under the Norwegian, who arrived as interim boss in December, continued with a stylish 3-0 Premier League win on Saturday at Fulham - where his agent Jim Solbakken was alongside Ed Woodward, United's executive chairman, and Avram Glazer, one of the club's co-owners, in the directors' box.
United's next opponents are Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16 tomorrow, and Solskjaer suggested United can not only overcome the Parisians but are also capable of going all the way in Europe's top club competition that they last won in 2008.
While the club are yet to close the door on other possibilities such as offering the post to Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino, defeating PSG could make Solskjaer's case to replace Jose Mourinho on a full-time basis a stronger one.
"Anything's possible, definitely," said Solskjaer regarding the PSG tie. "We are performing well and, hopefully after this round, teams and supporters can talk about us as a challenger (for the Champions League).
But he felt that talk of a United run for the English title was overblown, although the team could still have some influence over the eventual champions.
He said: "It's too far, the teams ahead. But we've got Liverpool, we've got City (still to play), so we might have a say in what's happening at the top of the table."

PSG'S PLAN D AGAINST UNITED
We have lots of Plan Bs. Without Ney, maybe without Marco, maybe without Edi. We have a Plan D. It is super difficult... But we will be ready on Tuesday.
PSG COACH THOMAS TUCHEL, on dealing with the injuries to his key players.

The 45-year-old, who has won 10 of his 11 games in charge while on loan from Molde and has taken United from sixth into fourth in the league, is being entrusted to influence United's long-term planning.
His belief in Phil Jones was a factor in the defender signing a contract extension and his playing principles was an influence in the sale of the physical Marouane Fellaini.
But it is his immediate task that could determine his future, although he may be helped by an injury to Edinson Cavani, PSG's all-time leading scorer who has netted 22 times this season.
The talismanic Brazilian Neymar is not expected back from a metatarsal injury until early April.
Cavani appeared to hurt his leg while taking the penalty three minutes before half-time that gave the hosts a 1-0 Ligue 1 win over Bordeaux on Saturday. PSG suffered their first league defeat this term, a 2-1 loss at Lyon, the previous week.
Sports daily L'Equipe reported that a scan yesterday revealed a torn thigh muscle and suggested he may also miss the March 6 return leg. Coach Thomas Tuchel admitted "the news will not be good" and he might need to resort to "Plan D".
He said: "It is too much. These are quality players for decisive matches. Not everyone can play at that level in the Champions League. We don't have a second Edi.
"We have lots of Plan Bs. Without Ney, maybe without Marco, maybe without Edi. We have a Plan D.
"It is super difficult... But we will be ready on Tuesday."
French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe could start as a lone striker at Old Trafford, supported by Julian Draxler and Angel di Maria, who spent one underwhelming season at United after signing for a then-British record Â£60 million (S$105 million).

SINGAPORE PREMIER LEAGUE

Tampines Rovers v Hougang United Our Tampines Hub, tomorrow, 5.30pm
What a difference two months can make. On March 3, Tampines Rovers and Hougang United lined up in a lip-smacking opener to the Singapore Premier League (SPL) season, touted as a clash between potential title rivals.
But Tampines put paid to notions of an even contest, trotting off the Jalan Besar Stadium pitch with a handsome 5-1 win, aided by a red card to Hougang's Justin Hui that preceded the Stags' four second-half goals.
Since then, however, the two teams have had contrasting fortunes in the league.
Hougang have won five of their seven games and currently sit in second. Tampines, meanwhile, have not won any of their last four and are fourth in the nine-team SPL.
As the teams prepare to meet again tomorrow at Our Tampines Hub, Hougang are eager to prove that the first result between the two sides this season was a one-off.
"We all know Tampines are a good team, there's no denying that," said star attacker Faris Ramli, who has scored six SPL goals this season.
"But we all know the 5-1 scoreline did not reflect the game. We suffered a red card at 1-0 down and they made use of the extra player to score more.
"The fact we managed to equalise (to 1-1) with 10 men shows we have the quality to match them."
Tampines coach Gavin Lee was also keen to downplay the thrashing his side handed out.
"In terms of whether the scoreline reflected the quality of both teams, I think it didn't," said Lee.
"Both sides have good sets of players but, on that day and in that game, we were the better team and they didn't perform. When those two factors come together, that (big win) can happen.
"Are we expecting a similar scoreline on Sunday? No. They'll definitely be fired up to prove the previous result was a fluke."

On Tampines' recent struggles in the league, Lee said the team's exertions in the AFC Cup - games usually take place in midweek - have affected their consistency. Most recently, the Stags needed a last-minute goal to beat Myanmar champions Yangon United at Jalan Besar on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old acknowledged that the continental competition is "not easy physically" on his players as the matches are played at "an international tempo".
Lee added: "We've spoken about it as a team and we know it's part of the privilege of playing in a continental tournament... Whether (fatigue) will play a big part tomorrow, I don't know.
"But we've done our usual recovery protocols and hope the players are fresh, and physically and tactically ready."
Despite their good run of form, Hougang are looking to avoid a second loss on the trot, following their gutwrenching 3-2 defeat in injury time by league leaders Brunei DPMM last Sunday. The Cheetahs had led 2-1, and a win would have taken them top of the SPL.
"The loss was a bitter pill to swallow, but we've addressed it as a team and we are in better spirits now," said Faris. "This season, we have shown we have the mental strength to bounce back from our two (previous) losses by winning the next game both times, and we will have to do it again.

PAYBACK TIME
We have shown we are capable of competing at the top of the SPL, so this is a game we definitely want to take three points from.

LONDON â€¢ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned his under-achieving Manchester United players there is no "hiding place" for them and that they are playing for their futures at the club.
The United manager, whose side exited the Champions League this week in limp fashion against Barcelona, said he is looking to the likes of forward Anthony Martial and midfielder Paul Pogba to rediscover their best form as they battle to qualify for next season's Champions League.
United face three crucial league games with Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea that will have a huge say on whether they finish in the top four.
But, with big-name stars such as Martial and Pogba desperately struggling for form in a run that has seen United lose five of their last seven league and Cup games, Solskjaer has laid out demands to his players.
"Most of them have really impressed me in their attitude and, of course, there are some who need to get a reality check of where they're at," he said at a press conference ahead of tomorrow's away Premier League match at Everton.
"Every day in training, every game when you're playing, there's no hiding place and everyone can see what your level's at.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Most of them have really impressed me in their attitude and, of course, there are some who need to get a reality check of where they're at.
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER, Manchester United manager, on some players who are not performing to expectations.

"I've spoken to individuals and they know, and Anthony is one I've spoken to. Anthony's got a massive talent, signed a new contract and he knows we believe in him, so just keep working."
Solskjaer, who has seen his side's fortunes slide since he was handed the job on a permanent basis last month after a sparkling start as interim manager, said tests such as Barcelona are good indicators of whether players are able to play at such a level.
While the Norwegian has stated that some of his players needed a reality check, he has also come to realise the gulf in quality between his team and the top European sides.
He is, however, confident that United will be successful in the summer transfer window in hopes of bridging the gap.
"I've been speaking to the club. We've got scouts scouring the planet for good footballers and we'll sign players we think are the right fit, personality wise, price wise and quality wise," the 46-year-old added.
"But we know that we have to be realistic and have a job to be done. There's no quick fix, it's not like we buy seven players and we're in the right shape. We have to take it step by step and, of course, there will be signings made in the summer."
Tomorrow's trip to Merseyside represents a match sixth-placed United simply cannot lose if they are to keep up with rivals Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Solskjaer has also called on his players to move on from the quarter-final defeat at Barcelona.
"We spoke about it, you have to get on with it quickly and accept we're out of the Champions League, no shame in going out to Barcelona (at the Nou Camp)," he said.
"We want to be here (in the Champions League next season) again and, to be back at these stadiums, we need to be in the top four.
"Players are in a good state mentally and they're strong mentally and, at Goodison, it's going to be a hard game."

Reds back in the big league, says Klopp

MUNICH â€¢ It was a night when Liverpool reminded themselves and their opponents why a banner can be seen at their games to proclaim "European football royalty".
When the action was finally over, Jurgen Klopp ran across the pitch to pump his fists towards the Liverpool fans in the highest tier of Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.
He was ecstatic, and deservedly so. Following the 3-1 Champions League last-16 second-leg win in the German champions' backyard on Wednesday, the Liverpool manager declared his team are back as one of European football's powerhouses.
Few would argue with him and his players could celebrate a satisfying night of mature and controlled football. And, for the first time since 2009, the English Premier League has four teams in the quarter-finals.
Liverpool had lost all their away games in the Champions League this season before Wednesday. But the win saw them join Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham in the last eight, while Germany will be without a quarter-finalist for the first time in 11 years.
"It is an important (win) for different reasons. Important money-wise but also confidence-wise," Klopp told reporters after the match.
"It's not about playing your best free-flowing football, that's not possible against this quality because you cannot use your speed as the other team is quick as well. You have to find different ways and tonight we found them.
"Liverpool's self-awareness now must be 'We are back. We are back on the landscape. Back in big football'. That was part of the plan when we started the project. We still have space for improvement but beating Bayern here is a big one."
Liverpool, five-time European champions and last season's Champions League runners-up, eased past the Bavarians with two goals from Sadio Mane and one from Virgil van Dijk after a goal-less first leg at Anfield.
The Reds shrugged off an early ankle injury to captain Jordan Henderson and kept their cool after Bayern's equaliser through Joel Matip's own goal late in the first half.

LANDMARK VICTORY
It is an important (win) for different reasons. Important money-wise but also confidence-wise.
JURGEN KLOPP, Liverpool manager, on the significance of the result in Germany.

It was a intelligent, resilient and, when required, incisive display from Klopp's side.
Mane was magnificent in attack, James Milner immense in midfield and van Dijk, as usual, outstanding at the back.
It is not often that Bayern are made to look so ordinary, especially on their own ground. But the evidence is irrefutable that the 28-time Bundesliga champions are on the wane, possibly as a consequence of their repetitive domestic success.
Yet that should not deflect from Liverpool's performance on a night where Klopp's players defended stoutly, were clinical with their chances and never showed a flicker of trepidation.
Perhaps, on reflection, Bayern will regret not being more adventurous in the first leg. The whole point of the away-goals rule is to encourage teams to attack. But Bayern opted for ploys of conservatism at Anfield whereas Liverpool were far more ambitious with their approach to being on foreign soil.
For Mane in particular, it was a triumphant night. Arguably Liverpool's most effective attacker since the turn of the year, these were his 18th and 19th goals of the season.
Ten have come in the last 10 matches and his first one here was a wonderfully composed finish once he had controlled a long ball forward, swivelled away from Rafinha and sidestepped Manuel Neuer to float the ball delicately inside the post, almost in slow motion.
The problem for Bayern had nothing to do with a lack of endeavour. It was a lack of ideas, of inspiration, of wit and creativity.
Their coach Niko Kovac, thought otherwise, preferring to give credit to his counterpart after his team failed to respond to the two headed goals from Mane and van Dijk in the second half.
"I know Jurgen Klopp and he is very good at eliminating the opponents' strengths and he showed that again today," he said. "The 1-2 took away our belief. After that Liverpool was the better team."

Football: Jahanbakhsh on target as Iran ease past Oman into last eight

ABU DHABI (REUTERS) - Three-times champions Iran came through an early scare before marching confidently into the Asian Cup quarter-finals for the 13th time in 14 attempts with a 2-0 victory over a spirited Oman team on Sunday (Jan 20).
Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand saved an Oman penalty in the opening minute but a goal from winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh and a successful spot-kick from captain Ashkan Dejagah put them firmly in control at halftime.
The Iranians were unable to add any more goals in the second half but there was never any real doubt they would return to the same stadium on Thursday to meet Marcello Lippi's China, 2-1 winners over Thailand in Al Ain earlier on Sunday.
"It started with an unusual situation and a great save (but) we controlled the whole game and we could have stopped it earlier with a third or fourth goal," said coach Carlos Queiroz.
"We can't miss those kind of chances. We need to play with a killer instinct, we need to put those opportunities in the net."
Oman, in the knockout stages of the Asian Cup for the first time and roared on by a large part of the 32,000 crowd, never flagged and will forever ponder what might have been had Ahmed Mubarak converted the early penalty.
Striker Muhsen Al-Ghassani, Oman's best player, was hauled down by centre back Majid Hosseini but Beiranvand dived low to his right to deny the Oman skipper, just as he had Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo at last year's World Cup.
The quality of Iran's forward line was always going to cause Oman problems and Sardar Azmoun had the first of many shots at goal as early as the fourth minute.
Jahanbakhsh was soon causing the Oman defence problems down the right flank but it was from a more central position that he opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, pouncing on a defensive error and poking the ball into the net.
Dejagah doubled the lead five minutes before the break after Mehdi Taremi had been bundled over in the box but Al-Ghassani quickly gave a reminder that Oman were not done with a powerful shot that Beiranvand tipped over the bar.
Oman coach Pim Verbeek switched to a 4-4-2 formation at the break to chase the game but that opened up more space at the back and only the profligacy of the Iran forwards kept the lead at two goals.
Taremi and Azmoun vied for the title of worst offender but the Iran defence, yet to concede a goal in four matches, ensured Team Melli remained on track to end the 43-year drought since their last continental title in 1976.
"The penalty would have helped (but) we tried everything possible to score a goal and Iran kept us under control," said Verbeek, adding that he would be staying on as coach of Oman.

Football: Mourinho rejects offers, reveals fragile ego at United

Football: Mourinho rejects offers, reveals fragile ego at United
LONDON â€¢ Jose Mourinho revealed that he has turned down three job offers since being sacked by Manchester United last month, adding he was happy to bide his time before taking on his next challenge.
Speaking in his role as a pundit for broadcaster beIN Sports during the Asian Cup on Saturday, the Portuguese also said rivals Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp enjoyed more support at their clubs.
"I am happy with these three weeks, I am happy with this experience and I am going to have other experiences that normally I cannot have," Mourinho said.
"But I know me and, I know by the end of March, I will be struggling with my happiness.
"I will analyse things, I don't like to speak about it. But I've refused already three options because I didn't feel that it is what I want, so I'm going to be calm in this aspect."
At United, Mourinho was left frustrated in the close-season transfer window when Liverpool, in particular, strengthened markedly and Manchester City added to a squad already deep in quality.
"At Man City in the first season, Guardiola was not a champion. In the second season, Pep made great decisions, but those that were supported. In the same summer, he sold four full-backs and bought four backs.
"At Liverpool, how many players were there before Jurgen Klopp arrived? If you are a manager and you choose the players to follow your idea, that's one thing.
"The other thing is when you are not able to do that."
Mourinho also claimed that modern footballers have such fragile egos that one United player asked not to be criticised in front of his team-mates.
"When I coach on the pitch, I like to see myself free because I am in family and I want to be able to criticise everyone," he said.
"I had one player say, he was very polite and not confrontational, 'Please, when you criticise me, can you do it in private?'.
"I said why and he said, 'Because it's my stature in front of the other players, when you criticise me I don't feel comfortable'.
"He was one of the top players of his generation. Nowadays you have to be very smart in the way you read your players and their personalities."

Football: Neymar hits half-century as PSG are held by Nice

PARIS (REUTERS) - Edinson Cavani missed a stoppage-time penalty as Paris St Germain continued their stuttering end to the season with a 1-1 Ligue 1 draw at home to Nice, with Neymar notching his 50th goal for the club.
The visitors took the lead early in the second half through Ignatius Ganago before the Brazilian equalised from the penalty spot.
PSG were then awarded a second spot kick late on following a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review, but Walter Benitez saved Cavani's effort.
Thomas Tuchel's side have now won just one of their last seven games in all competitions, losing four and drawing two.
Despite the recent slump, PSG secured the Ligue 1 title last month and remain 17 points clear at the top of the table, while Nice are seventh on 52 points.
Patrick Vieira's side took the lead within a minute of the second half kicking off when Ganago latched onto a long ball from Dante and smashed an angled half-volley into the roof of the net.
Nice were inches away from a second just before the hour mark when the lively Youcef Atal skipped to the byline and cut a low cross to Allan Saint-Maximin on the edge of the six-yard box, but his finish came back off the crossbar.
The visitors were made to pay for their wastefulness less than a minute later when Patrick Burner brought down Angel Di Maria to concede a penalty which Neymar rolled in for his first league goal since January, following a lengthy injury lay-off.
The former Barcelona forward reached the landmark of 50 goals in just 57 games for the French club.
PSG had a golden chance to take the three points when they were awarded another penalty for Dante's late challenge on Neymar, but Cavani's tame shot was parried by Benitez.
