Solskjær press conference vs Arsenal (H)

[Samid]

Solskjaer on trusting himself
I'm not doubting myself. If I doubted myself, then I think the rest of the world would as well. We have loads of discussions as a club and believe in what we’re doing.

We have a saying in Norway. You trust yourself, back yourself, you do it your way. As a player, was I good enough? Someone else has to say. As a manager, will I be good enough? I trust myself to keep doing it the way I'm doing it.

Solskjaer on building a culture
It's not like the situation we had last year. There's no lack of desire there. For us it's about building a new culture, building a new team, bringing everybody together. Is it the job I expected? Yes. I never said this was going to be a quick-fix job.

 

[Samid]

Solskjaer on top 4 ambitions
Chelsea are going through a similar period to us, rebuilding, then there are Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester, loads of teams wanting those positions. That is where we will be in and around. We should still be a top four side.

The rest of the world does.

Desires all well & good until the lack of coaching and tactical nouse on the touchline kicks in.

I dislike him as our manager the more I read & hear.

It’s all cliche & hyperbole.

A winning culture is the most important one & we are as far from that as we have been post-Fergie.

It's hard hearing the truth

@Catt @SirAF which saying is he talking about? Must be a local one in the west because I've never heard of it.

 

[He'sRaldo]

His words won't be received right now because he's not winning. He needs to get back to getting good results, then whatever he says will be music to our ears.

 

[Bastian]

He said we couldn't get the one we wanted, in terms of strikers. Who is he referring to?

 

[haram]

Solskjaer on not signing a striker
"Of course, if we had the right one [to sign], if it was there, we would have. It was time for Rom to go. He knows that. He didn't want to be here. What is the point in having players that don't want to be here?

Paul Pogba?

It's hard hearing the truth

Yeah some of our fans are having a hard time to accept the truth and still think we can win every week, it needs patience we are probably years away from competing for anything, our squad is broken and need fixing.

 

[Bastian]

Paul Pogba?

Yeah, strange one from Ole.

@Catt @SirAF which saying is he talking about? Must be a local one in the west because I've never heard of it.

I have no idea

 

[FootyGirl88]

I have no idea

You're from Norway? You kept that one quiet, what are they saying about Ole over there? Do they still think he's the right guy for the job? x

 

[Samid]

I have no idea

He is basically making up expressions and claiming it to be some sort of ancient wisdom

 

[SirAF]

Yeah, I don’t like to brag

I think most people, including journalists, are saying that he needs time as they are aware of United’s challenges. That said, they also recognise he’s in trouble if the poor results comtinue.

Unless it’s VERY local

@Catt @SirAF which saying is he talking about? Must be a local one in the west because I've never heard of it.

Have no idea but he needs to stop saying of course.

 

[Ventura]

Paul Pogba?

We got a good offer for Lukaku, not for Pogba.

 

[matsdf]

Paul Pogba?

How do you know Pogba doesn't want to be here? Sure, he might have wanted to join Zidane in Madrid, but other than "I want a new challenge" I haven't heard anything from Pogba suggesting he wants to leave. The fact that he would like to play for Real, does not mean he dislikes playing for United.

Pogba also trained with the team and available for selection, something Lukaku didn't.
