“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!
