Told the players that he was going to be fired at half-time – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

In November 2022, it was the end for Ole Gunnar Solskjær at Manchester United. It stormed around the Norwegian after a series of poor results, and shortly after a painful 4-1 loss against Watford, Solskjær left the club in his heart. But already in the break of the match he realized it was over. – Nobody had told me that, but I knew it during the break. We didn’t look like a Manchester United team, we didn’t run for each other. During the break I told the players that it was probably the last time we worked together and that they should play with pride. We almost turned the game around, until Harry Maguire was sent off, Solskjær tells The Athletic. MANAGER: Ole Gunnar Solskjær got his dream job when he was hired at Manchester United. Photo: AP The 50-year-old has barely done an interview since he was fired, but he is now opening up to the website. The Norwegian has been unemployed since leaving United, but in the interview he reveals that the phone has not been completely silent. Among other things, clubs from Saudi football have tried to lure him back into the manager’s chair. – I have received an offer. Most recently two from Saudi Arabia. My best friend, who is also my agent, leaked it. If you have managed Man United, you set your own criteria about what you want to work on, says Solskjær. Before the 2021/22 season, Solskjær brought back superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to the club. The Norwegian manager says that the signing felt right at the time, but: – It was a very difficult decision to say no to and I felt we had to take it, but it turned out to be wrong, says Solskjær to The Athletic. It started well with a Ronaldo double against Newcastle, and Solskjær believes that the Portuguese showed that he was still one of the world’s best goalscorers. Ronaldo finished as the club’s top scorer that season, but it was a difficult period for the club. – In a group of players, everyone must go in the same direction. When things didn’t go well, you could see that the egos of certain players came out, says Solskjær without naming names. The case is updated.
