Solskjaer was not too downcast when he announced the shock of his team's fifth round at Stamford Bridge, insisting that the wounds presented opportunities for Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

Solskjaer said: "It's a chance for all players, if it's Alexis or Romelu that starts, or if it's Chongy or Angel.
"Anthony and Jesse have done very well for us, they are essential in the offensive part with their attributes and their pace.
"But with Rom and Alexis, they have different skills to be able to show what they can do."

Solskjaer had 10 wins and one draw in his first 11 games as interim goalkeeper, allowing him to become Jose Mourinho's permanent successor.
He urged his team to remain calm after his first defeat, after a few crucial days during which she will face two of her biggest rivals.
Solskjaer said: "I hate losing games, it seems like the boys hate losing games, and they have been down, of course.
"There is no point in lingering on this because there are big games against good teams, we have to dust ourselves off and take our place on Monday.
"You have to bounce back in this club, you do not panic because you lost a match, you do not change everything because it does not change the state of mind."
"We need to keep working on how we want to play football, and the way we approach games will always make us think of an offensive and positive spirit."
"We want to go down to Chelsea, we want to have Liverpool here, we always want to impose ourselves in these games."
