Ole Gunnar Solskjaer addressed his team’s mentality recently. United drew 1-1 against Chelsea in their Premier League game, and Ole’s comments prior to the game were relevant.
“It’s not like playing Football Manager this, you know,” Ole said in his press conference on before playing Chelsea.” There are players that we maybe have expressed an interest in and if they’re not available for sale, it’s not just like ‘I’ll get him’.”
“We have to have the right type of player, with the right quality and the right personality. If they’re driven by money or fame then they’re not right for Man United or right for my team. I’ve been the same at Molde and Cardiff and I’ve been the same here. I need players who can reflect me as a person as well and my values.”
Solskjaer also wants to imprint his style on the team, while respecting the work Sir Alex Ferguson did. “Everyone knows that times have changed and what the gaffer did has been unbelievable,” he said. “But we are doing things differently to all the previous managers.”
United are currently sixth in the Premier League, and they will hope to win their last two games to make it into the top four.
