Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that while he was departing for Old Trafford, the owners of his former club Molde told him not to come back to the Norweigan outfit. The interim gaffer is yet to lose a match in his tenure at the helm of Manchester United after nine outings in all competitions.

Speaking to the media ahead of the match against Leicester City, the former Champions League winning striker said, “When I rang the owner and said that United had called and that he always knew that this had been my dream, he said: “Go over, enjoy yourself – and please don’t come back”.”

He also revealed that he is in constant touch with the legendary Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and catches up with him after every home game. He said, “I go and visit him after every game in his lounge at Old Trafford and it is great to see him well and healthy. I have a football chat with him and his friends. Of course he still has a good eye for the game.”

He added, “We don’t speak every week but we keep bumping into each other at the stadium. He has also been to training a couple of times which is great for him too. To be fair, it has been horrendous weather when he has come to training! I think he enjoys watching football and now with Darren back (son Darren Ferguson has been appointed Peterborough manager), he might spend some time there too.”
