Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that player power is a modern concept every one has to live with and it is not a problem for him.

“I think [you have to treat players differently now] – times are changing,” said Solskjaer ahead of Saturday’s visit of Brighton.

“I’m old enough to have worked with older players and older managers so I know that type of player and management school.

“But I’m young enough [to understand modern players], and I’ve got kids – an 18-year-old – myself, and I have worked now with young players back home. It is a different era.

“I wouldn’t say they are more powerful but it’s different because with social media the society they grow up in – I sound so old now – it is such a different era.

“Now everything is just on Twitter, Facebook or whatever it is straight away. As long as it is not malicious [it’s fine], that’s just the reality we live in.

“They still have to have the values of a team. If players want to help the team, they deserve to be here. If they don’t want to help the team, they don’t deserve to be here. Those values and beliefs don’t change.”
