Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he will be happy for Manchester United training to end with “a little bit of a quarrel” in their pursuit of success.
The Norwegian interim manager has rattled off five straight victories since replacing Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, returning the feel-good atmosphere at the club. And Solskjaer believes the occasional fight in training is not a bad thing as he bids to set the right standards for his side.
“We had one or two fights [as a player] but that is just the demand, the standards that you set.
“If the session ends with a little bit of a quarrel I don’t mind because it means they are winners, they want to improve.
“If you settle for losing in training you’ll lose when a game when it really matters. There are a couple of aspects with the break: it’s the weather and the downtime the boys can have together.”
In addition to working on the players’ fitness, Solskjaer has revealed the group have focused on video analysis too. “Here they’re not just running away back home to their kids and wives,” Solskjaer added. “We’ve got plenty of time for video analysis and to get some principles in play.”
