There’s few Manchester United fans that wouldn’t quite happily name their first born Ole Gunnar such is the popularity of the caretaker manager. Nine wins and a draw have cemented Ole’s greatness in the eyes of Reds worldwide.
Solskjaer was always a tremendous player for United. His goals weren’t just plentiful they also came at vital times. Being a playing legend doesn’t make you a legendary manager. If it did then Sir Bobby Charlton would’ve took Preston North End to the Champions League.
The reason Ole has been such a quick success is he’s had lots of managerial experience. Especially in his homeland. RedArmyBet took a trip to Solskjaer’s homeland to see how it all started for the manager. Not just his early years, but his Norwegian managerial career too. By speaking to the fans, ex-pros, journalists and even postmen that knew him, we’ve been able to delve deep into what makes Ole tick.
