Even before getting recognized as a good coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been a massive fan favourite at Old Trafford due to his incredible goal 20 years back.
The Norwegian boss made a huge impact as a player long before he did as the club’s caretaker boss. However, he believes that managing is his real calling in life and not his days as super sub for United.
He said, “I think I’ve prepared all my life for this. Ever since I was a kid, when I played computer games with my mates, we would write out all the teams. They were good old times when I used to sign Zico and Maradona and Van Basten.”
“Looking back, I have secretly always wanted to do the job I am doing right now. I probably believe more that I can be a football coach than I ever did a football player.”
“I just feel so honoured and privileged to be the one making all the decisions. I absolutely love coaching, managing and just helping players to improve themselves. And when you’re in a club like this, that’s exactly what you have to do. It’s what the gaffer (Sir Alex Ferguson) did, it’s what Sir Matt Busby did, as well as Louis (van Gaal) and Jose (Mourinho).”
The Red Devils are set to face off against Arsenal in what could be the deciding fixture for a top-four Premier League finish this season.
