Henning Berg has warned Manchester United players from underrating Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Berg who played alongside Solskjaer at Old Trafford and for the Norwegian national team, says who Solskjaer has been variously described as a ‘baby-faced assassin’ should not be underrated by the Man United playing Unit.
“He’s a clever man, don’t be fooled by his young face, he’s got steel in his eyes. I’m sure he’ll be able to handle the players his way, which will be different from the way that Mourinho works. A different approach with Solskjaer’s mentality with his way of doing things might get a lot of energy and getting players playing together again. If you can do this you will win many matches,” Berg said.
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans trust has issued a statement welcoming Solskjaer and promising support.
“United need a lift and our ultimate super-sub, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is just the man for the job. He’s been a long-term backer of fans and a patron of MUST, so we know he understands our support and what we are looking for from a manager. Whilst Ole is at the helm, the club needs to make the big structural changes to equip us to compete in modern football. The Club must put football expertise in charge of football decisions, especially in respect of selection of the next manager and player transfers.
“Manchester United fans have shown phenomenal support to the team through the recent difficult period. We know all fans will continue to back the team and we expect to see the players giving their all for the Club and the supporters.
“We know Ole will.” the statement read
