Ole Gunnar Solskjaer The Man To Manage Manchester United
18 January 2012
SIR Alex Ferguson has earmarked
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a future Manchester United manager.
Ferguson believes Solskjaer was
able to hit the ground running when he became manager of Norwegian club Molde
because he had been preparing to stay in the game for years ahead of retiring
as a player.
Former United stars such as Bryan
Robson, Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, Roy Keane, Gordon Strachan and Paul Ince all
became managers with varying degrees of success.
But Ferguson believes Solskjaer’s
preparation – including taking notes about training sessions – set him apart
and helped to inspire Molde to their first league title in his first season as
boss.
That success has meant Solskjaer,
38, is already being linked with jobs in England.
“The problem for a lot of
footballers today is that when they get to the end of their careers they decide
they want to become coaches because they have nothing else in their mind they
think they can do,” said Ferguson.
“Ole always wanted to stay in the
game so was preparing early. He has given himself a better chance.”
