Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has asked Manchester United to go out their and enjoy their night against PSG in the Champions League in a couple of months time. The UCL draw will see the Red Devils will take on the high flying Parisians and Solskjaer thinks United should not be afraid but rather hungry to take on the best in the world.
“You know, that [the draw] was on Monday. I was watching, not knowing about what was happening here [at United],” Solskjaer told MUTV in his first interview since taking charge. You think, ‘PSG, what a fantastic chance’. Those are the special nights at Old Trafford, the floodlight nights, like the manager [Alex Ferguson] always talked about. You’ve got top talents to play against and our great talents.
Great players to play against when you’ve got Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani – those types of players. Those are the nights when Manchester United comes to the fore. I can’t wait for it, but we’ve got many more games before then. We want to build a foundation now and go into the game against PSG with confidence. If we can do that, great.”
Solskjaer will however, have to cross a few hurdles before that time, including taking on Cardiff in a few minutes time!
