He also sees Ince's statement one of jealousy, and calls it condescending. Ince can claim all he wants that he's not trying to be disrespectful, but he's arguing that nothing that has happened since Ole took charge is down to Ole. No matter how you look at it, that's pretty disrespectful.René Meulensteen interview with Norwegian newspaper, regarding Paul Ince rumblings on Solskjær.

- We are beyond the stage where one can say that it is more about that Mourinho's gone, than that Solskjær has come in. People can say what they want, but Ole has come in with a very clear thought and has put a very clear stamp on the team, says Meulensteen, who hits up what he thinks is the Norwegian's three most important steps:
1) He has given the players the confidence back.
2) He has reminded players of the responsibility of being a Manchester United player.
3) He has reinstated the offensive United way of playing football.
- If I had been Ole, I would think that statements like Ince are a natural part of Manchester United's boss. But I will tell you one thing: Ole will not let himself be influenced by it. He is not one who cares about criticism, says Meulensteen.
Also, this tweet from Erik Nevland made me chuckle:
Translates to "Paul Ince can go have a pear #whataclown". In Norway, suggesting that someone go have themselves a pear (or a bun, that's the one I'm most familiar with) is another way to tell someone their opinion is wrong.Tweet
