What Managers Say

Tim Sherwood: "I have spoken to him [Solskjaer] a few times. We are fresh in the Premier League but he has had more management experience as he has gone to Norway to do his management apprenticeship. You don't need me to tell you it looks like a difficult job."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "You can look at their results after a Thursday game. That's been proven scientifically, we can take heart from that. I was at the Spurs game. They impressed me. They had high energy and were pressing, but maybe they won't have that energy on Sunday. "
