Ole Gunnar Solskjaerlegend and former coach of Manchester United, reviewed his time on the Old Trafford bench, where he stayed for almost three years, between December 2018 and November 2021. “I missed a trophy. A penalty – in the Europa League final against Villarreal – could change this, then my time as a coach will be seen in different eyes. Anger? No, I prefer disappointed. “I couldn’t do the job of my dreams as I had hoped,” said the Norwegian in an extensive interview with ‘TheAthletic‘, where he also refers to the second stage of Cristiano Ronaldo like a red devil
“At the time I felt we had to do it”
“It was a difficult decision to reject. At the time I felt that we had to do it, but it went wrong,” he lamented. Solskjaer. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, currently ranked by Al-Nasr of Saudi Arabia, made his debut with a double against Newcastle and scored 24 goals in the 2021-22 season, his return to United. “He is still one of the best scorers in the world. But when you have a group you need everyone rowing in the same direction. And when things don’t go well, you see some players and egos come out,” continued the coach, who reviewed some current Mancunian names.
Jadon Sancho
“He is very talented and we haven’t seen the best of him yet. I hope we have more time, although he prefers to play on the left wing, where Marcus -Rashford- plays.”
Harry Maguire
“It’s a shame what’s happening. I feel sorry for him, but he is a strong man and I hope things improve in this regard. Our defense has improved a lot since he arrived.”
Rasmus Hojlund
“He is the type of player that United need to sign.”
Failed signings
“We couldn’t sign some players that I recommended. Like Erling Haaland, before he made his debut in Salzburg. Or Declan Rice, who won’t spend his price this summer -116 million euros-. “Discussed we are also with Moisés Caicedo, but we need players who are ready at that moment.”
Jude Bellingham
“We like him, he is one of my main goals at the club. But he chose Dortmund and I respect that.
His best signing
“Bruno Fernandes came in and directly energized the team.”
