“Naively enough or strangely enough, I’ve always had this belief and this strange dream about being the manager here [at Old Trafford],” said Solskjaer said. “I didn’t think about it when I was a player, until I got my bad injury, then I had the three years where I thought I needed to be a coach. Then in my last season, when I started working with the reserves, I thought ‘yeah, I like this, I like this environment’.
“And of course, when I saw the success – I know this [sounds odd] – what Guardiola did, he went for the reserves and then went into Barcelona, could I do the same? But it didn’t happen and I probably gave up my dream when Cardiff ended as it did. Then suddenly I’m here. But I still believe, in sport, you get what you deserve and I’ve worked very hard, I’ve been myself, I love working with human beings and maybe that’s what’s brought me here.”
