Solskjaer vows to use Ferguson’s methods to discipline players

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take cues from his mentor Alex Ferguson if his thinks Manchester United‘s players are not performing up to the mark.

The former Old Trafford favourite has already cut a contrast to predecessor Jose Mourinho in the days since his surprise appointment as caretaker manager, with the sunny demeanour of a 45-year-old who feels he has come “home” a constant in his media engagements.

Solskjaer has also repeatedly referred to the influence of his former boss Ferguson and insists this extends to disciplining players who do not meet the mark.

“We’re all different in how we manage people, and [Ferguson] was different to every individual. Maybe I should get the hairdryer out of my pocket because I’ve got a hairdryer!” he joked, recalling the nickname for the infamous dressings down dished out by managerial great Ferguson.

“When my hair needs lifting I use it on myself, but I’m also not afraid of laying down the law.

“With your kids, when they disappoint you, you tell them off, you don’t then give them some chocolate, do you? So you treat players similar to how you treat your kids really because you want the best for them, you want to guide them, you want to help them.

“But if I get disappointed… ask Noah or Karna or Elijah [Solskjaer’s children], or some of the players I’ve had in Molde. You have to tell them the standards we’ve got.”
