“We were looking at the middle east but it won’t happen,” said Solskjaer.
“We still have five or six matches before the winter break, it’s endless, 18 matches in less than 60 days which is alww demanding, we have to energise everyone.
“One good performance and result like Norwich, they felt good about them, bad results have to be a form of motivation, we know we’re not there yet but still need to keep improving.
“There is nothing that worries me on the football pitch but there are other things that worry me more than football.”
Manchester United have travelled frequently to the middle east and still made three trips to Qatar under Alex Ferguson and David Moyes and also in Dubai over the last two years.
