Solskjaer earned that nickname during his playing days at Manchester United.

The Norwegian is now the interim boss of the Red Devils and has had a stunning start in the role.

Solskjaer is yet to lose a Premier League game since being appointed and has picked up victories away at the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.

The former striker was known for being cool and calm in front of goal.

But Ferdinand, who played alongside Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for five years, says that was not always how he was off the pitch.

He claimed Solskjaer was “very dismissive” with players they use to speak about.

And Ferdinand reckons that is exactly how he has treated the United squad as manager.

“He has been amazing, unbelievable,” Ferdinand told talkSPORT.

“Even more than just the football side of it, I think he’s re-energised the whole place.

“But he’s got a ruthlessness too, 100 per cent.

“He is getting the best out of people, but to do that he’s got to have a ruthless streak because he’s got to pick a team.

“He was ruthless as a finisher and he’s taken that into management.

“I remember him when he played, when we used to speak about players he would be very dismissive of players and his opinion straight away was very cutting, cold.

“That reminds me of what he was like then, and I can see him being like that with players now.”

United are fourth in the Premier League table and face Arsenal next up on Sunday.
