He points out that Solskjær will now try to pick United players in a common project.
– If Ole Gunnar do it well, so he can get the job on a permanent basis. We have seen many times in the past.

And Solskjær has not been free to download to the club. According to Skysports pay United 1.8 million pounds – equivalent to 14.8 million dollars to purchase Solskjær free of the coach-the job in Molde forward to the summer holidays. Will United get him permanently, so one must up with 59,5 million dollars further – that is, something more than the amount of Vendsyssel requires of Jutland for Glen Riddersholm.
