Moreso, in a jibe posted on his Facebook page, the tactician is relieved he would not be bothered by the noise from supporters of the English side.
The coach claimed The Red Devils fear winning trophies and that the loss witnessed in Gdansk, Poland – courtesy of 11-10 post-match penalties in favour of the Spanish side – is welcome.

“Manchester United just fear winning Cups,” Akhulia wrote on his Facebook page. ” You have failed even to win the chiefs Cup and did you train to shoot penalties on an empty goal?
“There has been noise pollution for the past two weeks but it was cleared yesterday [Wednesday] by Villarreal and when we say God is great that is exactly what we mean. Where would we have taken our ears with the expected noise? Lest we forget that it is now years and counting since you last won anything.”
When asked, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed why he was disappointed in how the players fared in the 120 minutes of open play.
“We didn’t do enough in the 120 minutes to score more goals. That’s the disappointing bit.”
“You’ve got players of high quality there, and we started with loads of goal scorers, match-winners, and hoped it would give us the upper hand.
“That disappointment is the worst feeling, these are the moments you remember most in your career, as a player, and as a manager.
