Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has downplayed the influence of Sir Alex Ferguson in his current team.
The interim boss at Old Trafford has said that he is keen to not bring down the aged genius to the training grounds every week. Instead the Fergie influence stems from his former playing days under the Scottish boss.
“We don’t speak weekly,” said Solskjaer. “I haven’t spoken to him many times. He has been in to visit us just once – he has been to see [former player, Giuseppe] Rossi once. The influence is more my 15 years under him. He is 77, it is not fair to him either is it?”
“Part of the history of the club is that you get setbacks,” Solskjaer added. “It was not just glory days with Sir Alex either. That is just the way we are, that we bounce back and hopefully we move up the table. That is key to us now. The past three managers have passed on so much knowledge that the players know they will have it in the locker because every day is an experience.”
United have won all their seven matches under their new boss and are only 3 points away from the top 4.
