Ole: Don't turn football into rugby

Man United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the latest manager to criticise the Premier League's directive to referees, to be more lenient on fouls. 

Speaking after United's 1-all draw against Southampton, he said that Bruno Fernandes was clearly fouled, in the build-up to Southampnts' opening goal... 

"We can't go from one extreme of volleyball or basketball last season to rugby now. I like the more lenient way, it's more men's football, but, still, that's a foul".

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had also criticised the policy, which is aimed at improving the flow of matches.
