- Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær sits down with Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes to discuss the secrets to his High Performance career.
How do you start a 'cultural reboot' at United? How do you recruit people who identify with the culture you are building and remove those who don't? How do you quietly lead through the noise of endless opinions about your capabilities?
Find out the answers to these questions and more!
Ole Gunnar Solskjær KSO (Norwegian pronunciation: born 26 February 1973) is a Norwegian professional football manager, his most recent role was manager of Manchester United. He is also a former player who played as a forward. As a player, Solskjær spent the majority of his career with Manchester United and also played 67 times for the Norway national team.
Solskjær began his career in his native Norway with Clausenengen, for whom he scored 115 goals in 109 league appearances over five seasons, helping them earn promotion to the Norwegian Second Division in 1993, before moving to Molde, newly promoted to the Tippeligaen, for the 1995 season. His goals helped Molde to a second-place finish and qualification for the UEFA Cup. He joined Manchester United in July 1996 for a transfer fee of £1.5 million. Nicknamed "the Baby-faced Assassin", he played 366 times for United and scored 126 goals during a successful period for the club. He was regarded as a "super-sub" for his knack of coming off the substitute bench to score late goals. In added time at the end of the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, he scored the winning last-minute goal against Bayern Munich, with Manchester United having trailed 1-0 as the game passed 90 minutes, and winning the treble for United. He remained a regular player for the side until a serious knee injury sustained in 2003 permanently plagued his playing career. Failing to recover from the injury, Solskjær announced his retirement from football in 2007.
Solskjær remained at Manchester United in a coaching role as well as in an ambassadorial capacity. In 2008, Solskjær became the club's reserve team manager. He returned to his native country in 2011 to manage his former club, Molde, whom he led to their two first-ever Tippeligaen titles in his first two seasons with the club. He secured a third title when his team won the 2013 Norwegian Football Cup Final. In 2014, he served as manager of Cardiff City, during which the club was relegated from the Premier League. In late 2018, Manchester United appointed Solskjær as caretaker manager, taking over from José Mourinho for the rest of the 2018-19 season. On 28 March 2019, having won 14 of his 19 matches in charge, Solskjær signed a three-year contract to take over as Manchester United manager on a permanent basis. He took Manchester United to the 2021 UEFA Europa League final, where they lost to Villarreal on penalties. He was sacked by the club in November 2021 following a poor string of performances during the 2021-22 season.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Ole and hear about how he is quietly leading through the noise of endless opinions. What were you favourite parts of the chat?
This is one of the most wonderful and complete podcasts/interview that I have watched for a really long time. The questions were so right which is very difficult and rare to get nowadays. Thanks again
Every minute of it, well done lads.
@@manojpillai17 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
@@HighPerformancePodcast Why are you hiding your subs? Your content is great dont be shy
Lovely podcast, thanx for interviewing our lovely manager. Ole is just class and dedicated
“There’s no such thing as a good save, it’s just a bad finish”. Great mentality for a striker.
De Gea watching the podcast like 👁 👄 👁
Yeah, but also complete nonsense tbh
@@TheBloodsuger150 it's a mindset. And the placement of the shots for great saves can be better at taking it out of the keeper's hand. Doesn't mean the save isn't a good save or even a great save. But the point is that the player could've made it physically impossible to save.
@@TheBloodsuger150 it's Just a mindset.. Keepers would do well with the same, there are no good shots just bad saves..
@@TheBloodsuger150 your dumb aint u ?
People need to start respecting this man. Very very underrated player, quality guy, clearly knows what he’s talking about. Full trust in him as united manager.
The majority of our fans trust in him, its only those minority on twitter that is negative no matter what happens. Man utd was never about just tactics and starting elevens, its a culture and a way of football, I see our culture is getting back under Ole and Im glad to see things happening 👍🏾
TRA H & A Correct, it’s the culture he’s reinstated!
Agree
@@samosaeed91 The club culture is also about winning. Lots see how he does in relation to that. Lots see if he is just about symbolism or a winner a la Klopp and Guardiola.
@@rqubed2603 You are right about club culture. I just want to remind you that symbolism did not give us the Champions ligue trophy some years ago. It was Oles winner-mind.. He is a proven winner.
Fantastic interview!! In the 7 years since Sir Alex left, we finally have someone that gets the club, knows the club. Ole is no pushover and has systematically worked at clearing out the club of deadwood. Got rid of Fellaini almost immediately and has steadily started rectifying all the mistakes from the past 7 years. He doesn’t look for excuses like Mourinho. He doesn’t moan constantly. He’s positive and optimistic. He speaks to people respectfully. He comes across as a nice person, but he isn’t a pushover. The difference between this interview and watching Mourinho’s press conferences is night and day. Go Ole!
I totally agree. It's been a while since I enjoyed watching Man utd play.
100% bang on
100% correct
100 percent agree with what you said.
Really hope Ole brings utd back to the top.
Top man.
Ole is without a doubt the worst manager in the league and he will get sacked soon hopefully.
This is class. Ole is too underrated as a player, if you watched him you know.
lbhtdc zz_ ice cool goal scoring machine
You don´t call a babyfaced assassin underrated!
@Daz Ediss yes he scored almost everytime he shot, he was one of the most accurate finnishers
@IRISH LAD absolutely
@@Derazed85 well he is, because the non united fans dont fancy him, and most saw him as a sub for van nistelroy ect
Look at Mason Greenwood's finishing and listen to Ole talking about "there's no such thing as a good save." There are levels to this thing
Greenwood has the same mindset as Ole. It's all about finishing as quickly and as precisely as possible. No frills, no hesitation, not many touches, just receive the ball and put it hard in one of the corners.
@killbotone He is saying that from a striker point of you
@@KrishnaKumar-ph7zw there are easy saves and hard saves, anyone who has touched a football knows that, that's all he's saying
Good machine
He’s just saying that to make him appear more intelligent than he is
I grew up in the 90's and we used to celebrate it like a goal when this man came on. Everyone always expected him to score
U just knew he would score. The best ever impact player.
So true 👍
I remember my dad telling me as a kid when he was subbed on a goal was coming
Amazing player, so many goals even though mostly as a sub. Excellent killer instinct, only needs a bit of time to create a goal.
The true legendary super sub
I'd be pissed off if I saw him on team sheet to start a match .... this man was a genius at getting a goal .... if you needed a goal we had one sitting on bench.... bring him on and there it was ...
A manager admitting his mistakes and learning from them. Self awareness and humble. If they give him time then they’ll reap the rewards. He really is the true successor of Ferguson in the way of Manchester United.
Yeah ike whenever in his 27 years did fergie ever play a back 5 plus a matic to mark one striker, in a fa cup semi final?
3 nill down in a semi final, it never ever happened even once under fergie, already in his first big game, a chance to win silverware & he fucked it up, dont ever dare compare ole to fergie, it's like comparing a turd to a fillet steak
@@johnnysilverwave1641 clearly he didn't compare, just said he was a successor! Keep your knickers on!
@@johnnysilverwave1641 fergie almost got sacked in his third season
@@johnnysilverwave1641 I mean we once lost 6-1 to Man City under Ferguson so calm down buddy
Bobby Belter and did this jackass actually say that we’ve never been 3 nil down under fergie🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️my friend we live in an era where the internet is easily accessible so please do yourself a favor and do some research before commenting and talking total and utter bullshit on the INTERNET
I love Ole. Rooting for him every day to take us back to the top. GGMU!!
Wake up mate
@@jay_finesse_em3478 wake up, mate!
Who's top now?
@@jay_finesse_em3478 who's on top?
He is so confident as a striker he believes in himself that’s why he wants Rashford and Martial to do the same
When they are confident they score. Those two are special
And Greenwood we lucky to have three such good players for me Greenwood will become the GOAT and I mean the GOAT.
Mar Medli Yeah hes talented af i reckon if greenwood doesnt leave he will defo be our number 9 in a few years
@@adc112 He never going to leave he been at the club since he was 7 and Ole has known him since he first started at Unitedge be the main attacker soon enough.
His confidence translates into naivety as a manager
Ole is at the wheel.
Last season 3rd, this season 2nd, next season ....🙏
Underrated as a player, underrated as a manager. Someone need to teach Man Utd fans what a rebuild is. We see the plan, we know there’s gonna be downs, and the need to support him and trust the process.

How did it work out for you?
This aged well
I've played football in the lower leagues in my home country. I've followed football since an early age and I can tell that Man Utd have something interesting going on. Their recruitment has been spot on since Ole Came in. Players have improved since Bruno came in. Ole has a vision, it might take some time but they've planted the seeds and they will reap them in the coming 3 or 4 years if they still keep going in the same direction. Slow and steady wins the race in developing a winning team. Respect coming from a Liverpool fan.
i wouldnt say the recruitment has been spot on as the board runs the club like a business, the right word would probably be the scouting. The main reason the board brought in bruno last january was because rashford, pogba and mctominay were injured. over the summer, ole wanted a centre back and a right winger, he got neither of those things and the same in the most recent january transfer window. i really do hope that we reach the levels liverpool have hit but i just feel like ole is fighting a fight with one hand being tied behind his back without the backing from the board, obviously you could say that we are challenging for the title this year however thats because liverpool and city have dropped of and ole has done fantastically well in turning the season around as well as staying somewhat consistent. ole's project is working and it takes time for these things to become fruitious but i am very happy about the progress under ole and is definitely a few players away from competing.
"You don't get to the top by being a nice guy" - the assassin in him speakng😎
After watching this interview I’m rooting for ole no matter what, because the man knows how to be a man Utd he’s got the dna . Give him time like we gave sir Alex the time
It is a pleasure to see how proud and happy Ole is . I am surprised how well he is structured. He understand that the journey is what's most important. I now trust him to restructure the first squad and the club, because he seems to trust the staff he surrounded himself with. They all have the club identity running through their vein. And this is what was needed!
The man has earned our respect, he might not be a tactical genius and surely will make the odd mistakes on his journey but i am sure now that he will bring back the premier league title within the next 3 years. Because of the culture he is creating in the back ground and the way he has already restructured the transfer decisions . He is also not afraid to make the tough decisions like showing the door to the players with wrong attitudes and the ones out of their depth. He has the mental toughness and respect and love the club.
I wish him all the luck.
Respect Mr Ole Gunnar Solsjaer.
I feel like media has to sell papers ... so they will push a narrative about him. He is right for united ...

u da real mvp
Had to scroll all the way down smh 🤦🏽♂️ this usually up top
Thanks man
hey king u dropped something
ur crown.
Top striker.. top bloke.. United Legend. Underrated as a player (or not talked about as much as some), his first touch with foot, thigh or chest to set himself for a chance is one of the best i've ever seen. Intelligent and Lethal.
The sharpest killer instinct i have seen, did not waste time with the ball. Hit hard and quickly, but very accurate.
He is great at exploiting chances in defensive gaps, rebound ball.
The legendary super sub
Ole is super humble. His finishing would go up against anyone. He was unfortunate that he was at United during a time where they were very heavy with Strikers in the squad. If he was around in the early 90s some recent times he would have got a lot more games/goals. Even still he made a legendary impact. Top pro. Hope he gets success.
Ole will gain a lot of new fans and huge amount of respect after this interview. Truely loves the club and sees it as a pleasure to have the job of his dreams. I believe he’ll be successful at United, and hope he achieves what he deserves 🙌
Ole will be the United manager for the next 10+ years. As long as the higher ups in the club support him,he'll be known as one of the greatest managers ever when it's all over.
great interview, ole deserve a lot of credit for what he is doing, now i see the manchester united back the team i love since i was a kid, so thanks for the podcast i ' m from Brazil so sorry if my english is not the best
Seu Ingles e muito bom Joaquim, eu entendeu tudo. So pouco erro, seu Inglês e melhor do alguma pessoas do europa!
Your English is perfect mate, better than our Portuguese!!
Right on 👍👍👍
Your english is great - Man U!
You speak English better than the level of my Portuguese.
His love of Marcus Rashford shines through.
We as United fans, must appreciate the immense talent of mason Greenwood and the sublime Anthony Martial. But most importantly, we should appreciate the character of Marcus Rashford, awesome human being.
This guy is very likeable. Ole you don’t only have the X factor for goals , you also have the IT factor for Man Utd fans. Ole at the wheel . Keep it up and take the team to the next level.
I can see the very bright future for us with you Ole. Something special is being prepared.
Supported united since I was 6 now 40, loved Ole as a player and think he’s done a fantastic job (3rd). United being United we should be winning silverware but one step at a time. I’m sure we’ll kick on next season and raise the level and consistency. If we come within 10 points of Liverpool that is progressing in my book. Ole Ole Ole.
I believe Ole will get us back to the top of the premier league and get some silverware next season, he is so focused and loves man utd with a passion, love this bloke 👍
1999 Champions League Final. Scored the winner in the most amazing match I have seen since being a Man Utd fan. Enough said....
What a genuine, hard working man. I am seriously impressed. We’ve only scratched the surface of Ole’s mind and can already tell what a great manager he will continue to be.
Hmmmm yeah, about that
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 funny this
I needed this Ole. Not just football and ManU, but more on life, failure and hard-work. Best wishes my coach. Go go Manchester United.
What a refreshing interview - Ole was a fabulous player for United and is now building a reputation as a good manager, glad the Club have backed him, and hopefully he'll be given time to build. He comes across so well and proves he's a very modest and honest man. BRILLIANT
Excellent interview. Ole was a joy to watch during his playing days and he demonstrates here why he is such a great choice to lead the Reds. All United fans should be proud that he understands the traditions of Manchester United and does his best to lead the club back to the top. Back the Gunnar!
Well said sir
Ole is pure class. Such a wonderful man!
Interviewer: Olé I know your dad was a successful wrestler. . .
Olè: He said so, anyway. . . 😁😁
That ties back to a reason why Ole wanted to come back and play after his first knee injury that left him out for almost two years. His father always talked about his wrestling career but it was before Ole was born or old enough to remember. So Ole wanted his son Noah to remember him as a player and when he got injured Noah was only 3 years old. So Ole had to make it back as a player so that Noah would be old enough to remember him playing and scoring so that it wouldn't be the same situation as Ole had with his fathers wrestling.
He'll not wrestle a CHAMPION'S

@@marmedli9124 let's see and not speculate. From my point of view, MU is still in a bad shape.
A great interview! Ole is a very humble man, a rare quality in humans. Honestly, I didn't have any hard feelings on him I just didn't like what Man United board did to Mourinho - they had an agreement and didn't keep their end. As a manager I think Ole's doing great and hope you continue to grow. Best of luck Ole - from a football fan & Liverpool.
Such a good interview. Love Ole's honesty. He definitely deserves more time to finish what he's started
I remember this guy Damian Hughes book The Barcelona Way. Happy to see him digging into United and what our DNA is with Ole.
I've always fully backed Ole on what I believe he is well on his way to achieving here, success. From day one when I noticed our club following the club models of cash-rich clubs especially ones who have sudden investment through ownership, I thought 'Jesus weeps, United have drunk the kool-aid'. I noticed with Ole he was rectifying the mercenary culture immediately. Excessive aggressive club transfer policies facilitate a mercenary culture undertone that most fans aren't honest with themselves about.
But I'm an armchair manager and in Ole I trust. I'm so happy he's getting rid of that mercenary culture that was in the club, getting back to our DNA that will hopefully not only bring silverware but ensure we dominate.
I know with Ole we're well on our way to dominating through representation as well as silverware in the league and Europe for multiple seasons. Not just pinching a title through an aggressive quality haul in the transfer market; getting back to being Manchester United.
Beautifully written mate really enjoyed reading while I listened makes me feel good knowing some fans gotta brain.
great comment, sir!
Neves is perfect but unfortunately that’s never going to happen
Neves is not a bad idea at all
I need more United fans like this in my life
Honesty, work rate, trust, and loyalty.
If you're a manager at your workplace, you would need to drill these into your team. What an interview!
I enjoyed every minute of this! Well done guys :) Ole is such a great person. As a norwegian I couldn't be more proud!
me too :-)
Our manager. The man. Always loved him as a player and now as the manager he has brought back the Man Utd culture. Results will come too.
Hi Guys I am Sulayman United from Gambia the smilling coast of Africa and now living in Italy. I am Man united fan since i knew myself as a person and its not love to the manager or players as well but the Club itself so who ever is connected to that am your fan. Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world and since our icon, sir Alex resign we have been strugling and rotating from all the angles and nothing comes out it. But i am always happy with our directives and believe that we're on a right direction now Since some many changes have been made from management to the footballers as well. The faith is always there and that's why we have to join hands together grow up together. Ole is the one who has learn a lot from sir since he was a footballer and a manager now, they have a similary direction from low to high and from poor to the best. Now its in our own hand to stand for each other and look forward. This podcast is very importand by sharing ideas and esperiences. Great Thanks to everyone of you job well done and keep it up.👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Hope to see you at old Trafford one day, love reading stories about fans from different cultures and how they found their love for united
It's fans like yourself that make Manchester United the biggest club in the world 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Real fan just like me I'm from Jamaica living in London from i know my self it's been Manchester United we will get back to where we belong up up up up
Much love brother! We stand UNITED, forever ❤️
Ole is one of the nicest ppl youll ever meet.
thats why i love man utd. to be a family.....
the small detail when jose the manager, i see in player, there is an ego, when someone get goalscore, they just celebrate like "it was me", "i'm great",
but when i see united back then, like yorke or cole score or anyone, they celebrate with the one who give assist, just like say "youve made it, your good assist, we good" there is respect, togetherness.
i love you ole, to bring back that value....
next year we'll win premiere league again!! *finger cross
What A Gem Of a Human Being. Class🙏🏻
My Manager!!!
Didn’t know you played for united
Finally a post-alex team with a culture which is visible on & off the pitch. Ole is doing an amazing job so far. Now we need to step up and be consistent 🤗
I am not sure about the intent of the club, the lack of transfer activities and giving players like Jones and Mata contracts knowing that they offer nothing to the team. I think Ole is lenient towards the British players instead of scouting talent around the world. Plus he barely gets involved during the games where our players are dropping off during the game. I will like to see him with a team of good 16 squad members and see how tough he is on none performers... I wish him the best considering the club is so poorly run at the moment.
@@sakhilentshangase4430 we don't have to keep on spending big bucks each year that's real madrid or city not Manchester United. Jones has spent good years early on but lost his way now but Mata has been consistently performing coming off the bench whenever given a chance. Also, it's just his style to not be on the touchline right now. It hardly matters anyway, what matters is his control over the boys which i think he has.
Legend, great player, lovely guy and he should have NO doubters regarding his position as manager, onwards and upwards.
Ole= Living legend, what a top man.
I’ve a funny feeling there will be a few current Utd players watching this and recognising it’s them he’s talking about....
Jesse lingard 🤔
@@OnixpectedYT lol
Lingard
It’s about sanchez
not pogba
i have learned more about OLE bu most importantly i have larned life skills from this
If we didn't love this guy enough already! He IS a Manchester United man! End of
This was the first episode I saw from The High Performance Podcast and it only proves why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been successful at Man United. Some fantastic insights as to how Ole used to think when he played.... He never thought the goalie made a great save but he knew thag he didn't catch the ball on his foot properly and knew that if he practiced and adjusted the shot by a fraction it'll go in next time. Thanks to this interview, I've made it a point to watch the RVP, Rio & Sean Dyche interviews.
Watching the game the other day, and seeing Ole walking down the steps at Old Trafford, he looked every inch the Manchester United manager, something only Jose came close to before his final season. It has been great seeing him growing into the role, unlike all the others who have tried to tame the beast. I hope he has a long and successful career as our manager :)
Well..the doubters should listen to this..the question of is Ole the right man for the job has been answered with this... fellow United fans.. please support Ole and our players..if they make a mistake, analyse if they were trying something good and don't simply criticize.. just be patient with this lot.. the good times are not too far away now
When podcasts and interviews have questions that make the interviewee just stop and ponder about what/how to answer, you know you've got a good set of questions (and not something they have heard a thousand times).
This one hour just validated my trust in Ole and I'm excited about how his leadership can bring United on track to the glory days :)
Imagine what'll happen if Ole wins the treble again as Manchester United manager? Omg!
Now we as supporters is to keep supporting our players and manager. Stop abusing them on social media, especially Andreas. I know he's lacking skill and talent but he's our player ffs. We need to keep giving supports like positive messages, comments to our players.
I have finally met a human!! Especially on Insta..I go out supporting Andreas and I face some heat. He has been average but not bad...He has got the quality and if his decision making improves, then he will be a valuable back up! Good comment pal!!
@@tejaspiyush7 people give hate comments on how he sucks like that is exactly a cyberbully behavior but in their mind, it's okay because he's a footballer. So disgusting and embarrassing as a fan to abuse our players.
I was wondering what happened to the supporters as I was always wondering about this.
I thought exactly the same thing people calling Jesse Lingard names, this is from Manchester United supporters, I've never known anything like it. It doesn't seem right and it's not like the support used to be. Glad other people are saying this to.
He’s actually got all the talent in the world. Skill and technicality as well. It’s too bad he’s got the decision making of a child though 🤷🏾♂️
Even as a United fan,I can't deny that our fanbase is definitely a toxic one considering how some of us made fun of Lingard just for underperforming for this season.Ffs,imagine having a family to take care of and other life problems and these so called 'supporters' just bashed you without knowing what really happened behind the scenes.Sometimes,I felt pity for Lingard although I admitted that he never was the same he used to be a few seasons back.
I love Olé, he’s so humble 👏🏾
My respect levels for this man has gone through the roof.
Best podcast out there for premium football content straight from the horse's mouth. Amazing quality. Thank you Jake and Damian.
Ole is such a great person, with great communication skills. I really like him
Pure class
Baby face "assasin" quietly n ruthless , SAF "style" but even for me more like "silentkiller" OLE leadership!!! This is United mentallity,🤘🔥👊, players need to be fight! Must fight for this Man United OLE team🔥
Well said bruv! In Ole we trust!!!
People are trying so hard to discount how well Ole did for us. The amount of praise I’m seeing Ralf Rangnick getting and the derision I see for Ole baffles me completely.
His only mistake was trying to change our style of football too quick without having the right profile of players to do it, I also think that Ronaldo’s signing destabilised things big time (Ronaldo can be both the greatest player of all time AND also be the player that disrupted what had worked for Ole before).
Ultimately he lost the faith of the players who didn’t believe he could have them playing the type of football he promised - and all the toxicity in that dressing room came to a boil and swallowed him.
I won’t forget what Ole did for us as a manager and the happiness he brought back to us.
Ole’s values and attributes epitomise what I want to see in a United manager, top guy, in time he will drive us back to the top
Still calls SAF the gaffer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Full faith in Ole! Hopefully one day will be playing for him!
It’s fantastic to watch and listen to this at the end of the season 20/21 and understand that everything Ole has said in this interview hasn’t been lip service. It’s so clear that he is the right man for the Job and the club is no starting to enjoy the fruits of his leadership. The players are clearly buying into the United way that he understands it to be. The football has improved, the league position has improved as well as points tally. He has taken us to the europa cup final and hopefully his and the players hard work is rewarded with bringing a trophy home for the fans!
Best manager interview I've seen
Definitely the right fit for Man Utd. People were too quick to judge. We expect immediate results at United, but some things take time. There were a lot of flaws in our transfer strategy over the last few years. Solskjaer has come and changed all of that. No player is bigger than the club! He only wants players who want to play for the badge and not motivated by money. He is exactly what we need. Klopp was given time at Liverpool and Ole more than deserves time at United.
This is what a Man United manager is. The respect Ole has for the club and Sir Alex is top.
What in interview! Guys fantastic podcast. I love Ole’s sense of ownership and self scrutiny. He also comes across as quite driven to make MUFC the best it can be. But my standout will always be ‘Team First’ . I think we can finally se that .
The right man and what a man. 👌
Great stuff! High quality questions and equally good responses. You see glimpses of Ole's vision in the press conferences, but this is the first interview I've seen where he has gone in-depth to lay out his ideas. Nuggets of info about Ole's upbringing, his take on failure, and mentality of the current crop of players are the icing on the cake.
Who is after here after 2 nil win over crystal palace....we believe in you Olé!
how bout now? LOL

You know fans think managing is easy like it’s football manager, just choose team and make subs. But it’s actually incredibly difficult. You’re working non stop. You’re working with the owners. You’re working with your staff members, you’re analysing the data. You’re working on the training field. You’re taking players aside and spending time individually and collectively. You’re dealing with fans, doing interviews for the press. And somehow you have to find time for your family and kids. Can you imagine. The players have it easy! Not The manager.
To think SAF literally rebuilt man united and how following his "blueprint" is the right way to go for in terms of achieving great things for this club proves how great he was
I wonder if any Man Utd players are watching this? I think they could honestly be onto something with this team. If they keep their confidence they can win things.
So glad this showed up in my feed, what a great interview! Absolutely the best interview I've ever seen with Ole, and as a 52 year-old United fan, I learned so much I didn't previously know about him from it - I never expected that! Subscribed instantly and looking forward to watching your other content.
He is the son of United father (SAF).
👏👏🔥💯
Well said my brother🔥👌
Umair Asghar 😂 yeah but 2 differences... Ole is not an alcoholic like whiskey nose. And ole can't manage like whiskey nose other than that yeah
ᏔᎬ ᏚᎬᎢ ᎢᎻᎬ ᏢᎪᏟᎬ. that alcoholic made this club 10 times bigger than your club will ever be and that manager who isn’t as good as that alcoholic beat you 3 times this season 👍🏼
Adam Morrissey still 5th fella sit back down
He's actually way smarter than I'd given him credit for. Reffing poorly to suss out hot heads. Brilliant.
He also speaks the best English of all the foreign managers ( better than some of the Brits too) Love this guy ❤️🤩👍🏼
What an Amazing human being , best of luck
The thought of ole winning a prem and a champions league just blows my mind that would be some crazy achievement for him and Utd ! ❤️
Would love that
Ole i respect you and believe in you

Just take a moment to marvel at how fluently Ole Gunnar Solskjaer communicates in a (for him) foreign language.
The only thing is, he probably has been speaking English for more years than his English players. A player like Marcus Rashford is only 23 years old. He has lived here for a similar amount of time.
We need an amazon documentary on Manchester United ASAP !!!!
I'm an Arsenal fan but I like this guy.. I nearly became a Man utd fan because of him
Clearly not much of an arsenal fan then
@@jensonjones9089 hey wena Jenson ungazongiphaphela, the first English team I watched on TV it was Bayern Munich vs Manchester united 1999 ucl, I don't have to prove how an Arsenal fan I am
This is my Manager and I am proud and know that he will get us back to where we belong.
Wow this is lovely 😍 am seriously enjoying,I love you me manager OLE UTD'S 20'LEGEND💞
Glad you enjoy it!
For you young kids, you’ll remember how In sir Alex Ferguson’s final season, we kept going in to games, and going 1 or 2 goals down real quick, and Van Persie would bring us to level terms, on steps chicharito and he bagged a winner. We wouldn’t have won the league without javier Hernandez that season, ole was like that every season
I absolutely always loved him, now I have more respect for him...GGMU...our manager
First podcast I’ve listened to by you guys and wow, brilliant
Thank you! Loads more to come
I really love how he has managed this club, and I always believed that games are won in the midfield, signing Bruno Fernandes was a massive signing, family Portugal call him the best at his position, United is back, and Ole has done a great job, he understands the culture and philosophy of being a United player and I believe that's what Ole is stressing to his team, Liverpool will be the team to beat in the next few seasons, but United is nipping at their heels,
agree
Saeed from the United stand need to listen to this...
Hes very ignorant and stubborn. so I doubt he will watch this.
@@vaughanos5350 He is just a kid!! Nothing surprising about his football opinions and hence his agendas.
Well said mate. Also that bantz geezer
He'll watch this and say that Luke Shaw didn't attack the interviewer enough
@@jimmywhittaker1540 I think you mean Rants👌😏
Ole absolute loves to reminisce the joy in his face.. love this episode
Brilliant interview. So nice to see a comment thread not throwing abuse at him. He gets Manchester United, he loves the club as much as we do and wants to bring success. There was a lot of rot setting in because of JM and he's gotten the poison out at the root, which takes time. Top of the league today which is great, but he's a good year ahead of schedule on that. Not that I'd be unhappy with 21 in 21. Definitely the most positive I've felt since 2013.
I bet ole practice meditation his positive attitude towards everything is extraordinary....feed on the negativity prove the criticizers wrong....and he takes full responsibility for his actions it's amazing we are blessed to have him as our manager GGMU top 4 is ours
